SURF: Announcements of Opportunity
Below are Announcements of Opportunity posted by Caltech faculty and JPL technical staff for the SURF program. Each AO indicates whether or not it is open to non-Caltech students. If an AO is NOT open to non-Caltech students, please DO NOT contact the mentor. Announcements of Opportunity are posted as they are received. Please check back regularly for new AO submissions!
Remember: This is just one way that you can go about identifying a suitable project and/or mentor. Click here for more tips on finding a mentor. Announcements for external summer programs are listed here.
*Students applying for JPL projects should complete a SURF@JPL application instead of a "regular" SURF application.
*Students pursuing opportunities at JPL must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents.

Background: |
Our lab is passionate about bringing creativity, science and technology to solve problems in global health. We are pursuing programs in rapid diagnostics of infectious diseases and in understanding the interplay of food, gut microbes, and biophysics in human health. Members of our group have backgrounds in chemistry, biology, engineering, medicine, and biophysics —creating a rich, interdisciplinary and collaborative environment. We collaborate with clinical teams, industry, and other stakeholders to translate our research into impact. We use single-molecule technologies, mathematical modeling, microfluidics, microbiology, and clinical data to develop rapid diagnostics of phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility, focusing on the most urgent threats from the Centers for Disease Control.
