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: |
NOTE: This project is being offered by a Caltech alum and is open only to Caltech students. The project will be conducted at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Oregon. Microscopic imaging is an important tool to study cancer, as it can reveal cellular or molecular structures, spatial relations, cell-cell interactions, and the tissue microenvironment, and shed light on the mechanism of cancer initiation and progression. Such imaging modalities including histopathology imaging, immunofluorescent imaging, and light and electron microscopy imaging. The rate-limiting factor in utilizing these imaging technologies is automated processing and analysis tools for image quality harmonization, image characterization, biomarker discovery, and modeling of the spatial relations of cellular structures and temporal changes. This will require development of techniques for tasks such as image normalization, enhancement, segmentation, feature extraction, clustering, classification, using machine learning and computer vision methods. The student will be developing machine learning algorithms for the above-mentioned tasks. |

Description: | The student will work with the mentor to define the topic and scope of the project appropriate for the student’s skill level and the internship time frame. With the mentor’s guidance, the student will explore the algorithms relevant for the project, implement them or adapt existing tools to the specific cancer imaging data. | ||||||||
