Summer Space Research

Dear ECE undergrads,

Are you interested in space research in electrical and computer engineering?  Are you a junior or senior studying on campus this summer?  Would you like to work on computer systems to be featured on upcoming NASA missions in space?

UF is headquarters to the top national research center in its field, the NSF Center for High-Performance and Reconfigurable Computing (CHREC, pronounced "shreck", www.chrec.org).  CHREC is a partnership of four universities and 30 industry and government partners, many of them space agencies and industries.  Much of the research in CHREC focuses upon space-based computing (i.e., processing, networking, systems, services, and apps) for the International Space Station, satellites small and large, planetary rovers, and deep-space exploration, from Earth science to space science and more.  

One of our largest projects is CSP, the CHREC Space Processor (CSP), which has been adopted by the US space program and is being featured on several upcoming NASA missions.  The CSP design team consists juniors and seniors working on a variety of software, hardware, and hybrid tasks, from operating systems to apps to middleware, from PCB design to FPGA design.  With graduation this week of several of our design-team members, we are recruiting a few more to join the team in the summer term.  

Note: per federal guidelines on space technology, US citizenship or permanent residency is required.

If interested, please contact me with a copy of your resume and transcript (unofficial copy is fine).  We will be inviting candidates for interview in the next week or two.

Best wishes,
