The UGVR student will work on a multi-interdisciplinary project to combiig synthetic biology, genetic engineering, and synthetic cell design. During the summer intern, the student will receive training from a senior grad student/postdoc mentor on molecular biology, CRISPR, and genetic circuit engineering. Then the student will apply these skills and creatively generate synthetic circuits to improve engineered cell function towards protein production/secretion. The student will also work at the interface between another electrical engineering lab to combine bioengineering with electronics. The expected outcome will be published results on a high-impact journal, which will ensure the students’ co-authorship on a paper.
|
Desired Skills & Background
|
The student should have a solid background in college-level biology, physics, chemistry, and decent knowledge in computer programming. A good understanding of bioengineering and synthetic biology is preferred. The student should have good communication skills in English, easy to work with, and remain motivated towards accomplishing the research goals.
We value lab expertise and skills including molecular cloning, bioinformatics, and protein engineering. Previous experience in a research laboratory or an independent research project will be a plus. No particular requirements for the majors, but a mix of related (see above project description) expertise and strong interest in research will be the basis of a successful summer internship.

Various hardware accelerators have been proposed to improve the throughout and energy efficiency of DNNs or image processing pipelines. However, given the fact that real world applications tend to involve both types of kernels, it becomes critical to jointly perform hardware implementations and optimizations for both DNNs and image processing kernels. The goal of this project is to develop a framework that can generate hardware mappings for hybrid pipelines from a Domain Specific Language Halide.

Collaborating with senior PhD students in the SVL Lab, the visiting student will work on computer vision and deep learning algorithms for task-oriented grasping.
The student will design a simple and general model for robotic grasp prediction in the 3D space. The model takes partially observed images and point clouds as input and predicts positions and orientations for the robot’s gripper to grasp the object. Both simulated and real-world robot experiments will be performed to collect data and train the model. Several potential research directions can be explored:
-
Data-efficient reinforcement learning algorithms for grasping and manipulation with visual inputs.
-
Feature representations for robotic grasping.
-
Sim-to-real transfer learning for grasping and manipulation.
|
Desired Skills & Background

-
A strong background in computer vision and deep learning.
-
High ability and motivation for independent study.
-
Experience in reinforcement learning or robotic control would be a plus but is not required.

The main goal of our research group is to develop novel biomaterials and engineering tools to control stem cell biology, to promote tissue regeneration, or to eradicate cancer cells in vivo that cannot be removed using conventional therapies . Specifically, we develop biomaterials as 3D artificial cell niche to either promote stem cell differentiation, or to provide 3D disease models (i.e. brain cancer) as more physiologically relevant models for uncovering how cancer progress and for drug screening. In particular, we work extensively with injectable 3D matrices due to their ease for cell encapsulation, minimally invasive delivery for in vivo applications, and ability to fill defects of any shape in situ. We also develop various in situ drug delivery systems that allows tunable release of growth factors or drugs in situ. The student will work directly with Prof. Yang and a senior member of the Yang lab (e.g. a postdoctoral fellow or a senior Ph.D. student) on a project that is at the interface of biomaterials, cell biology, and tissue engineering. Our group is highly interdisciplinary, and the student will get valuable opportunity to interact with postdocs, Ph.D. students and other undergraduates from a diverse background.

Desired Skills & Background

Passionate, inquisitive, independent and hardworking student who is collaborative and works well in a team setting. Good oral and written communication skills in English is a must. Prior research experience in one or more of the following areas would be a plus but not required: biomaterials, stem cells, tissue engineering, controlled drug delivery.
Preference for students from engineering departments such as: Biomedical engineering/Bioengineering, Materials Science& Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering.
