Research Experience for Undergraduates in Computational Sensing and Medical Robotics (CSMR REU)

William Chan Santos

Projects are hosted by the Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR) and are funded by the National Science Foundation. (The number of positions awarded will be determined once funding has been awarded in the Spring.)

2026 program dates are May 26-August 1.

Candidates must be U.S. Citizen or a U.S. Permanent Resident. 

Goals & Objectives
Students from institutions nationwide are recruited to participate in research projects pursued by faculty and researchers at the Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR). Each student will be a part of a research team, including a faculty project supervisor and a graduate student mentor. The projects will be designed to match each student’s interest to maximize the potential for making a contribution during the session.

CMSR REU is committed to broadening participation in the research enterprise to strengthen our ability to innovate and create solutions that contribute to the betterment of humanity. We strongly encourage applications from:

  • Students who are historically underrepresented in engineering
  • Students from a non-traditional educational background, including through attendance at community colleges, or schools in underserved rural or urban communities
  • Students who demonstrate exceptional academic resilience by overcoming barriers such as economic, social, or educational disadvantages
