The students for the summer 2005 CHESS SUPERB
Program are:
|
| Lana Carnel is a rising Junior in Electrical
Engineering at the University of Tennesse, Knoxville. She is working
this summer with Mentor Parvez Ahammad.
Her service activities for the 2005-06 academic year at UTK chapters
include: President, Society of Women Engineers; Vice-Chair, IEEE;
Secretary, Engineers Without Borders; Treasurer, Eta Kappa Nu.
Lana graduated magna
cum laude in May 2003 from the University
of Tennessee, Knoxville, in the College Scholars Program, concentrating
in Film Production and Cinema Studies. |
| Murphy Gant is a new addition to UC Berkeley's undergraduate Electrical
Engineering and the Computer Sciences department, transferring from
Sacramento City College, where he achieved magna cum laude honors.
His research interests include wireless communications systems and
network securities. In the future, Murphy plans on taking part in research for the Team for Research in Ubiquitous Secure Technology (TRUST).
This summer Murphy is working with his mentor Yang Zhao, with intentions
of modeling a distributed camera network system.

Robert D. Gregg is a rising senior at the University of California,
Berkeley, majoring in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
He is working this summer with Mentor Aaron
D. Ames.
His areas of interest are control of hybrid systems, autonomous
software and systems, and communication systems. His SUPERB work
is the mathematical
modelling
and Lagrangian reduction of a passive bipedal walker from three
to two dimensions.
Robert plans on pursuing a PhD in electrical engineering and will be applying
to schools in Fall 2005.
He is the Layout Manager of UC Berkeley's very own California
Engineer magazine, which publishes undergraduate research from
all the UC campuses. When he is not working in the research
community, he serves as Chair of the Judicial Council of the Associated
Students of the University of California. He is a member of
the Chi Phi Fraternity and is a sitting member of the Greek Judicial
Committee. |
| Shams Karimkhan is a rising senior at Wright State University,
majoring in Electrical Engineering. He is working this summer with
Mentor Alessandro Abate.
Shams was born in San Francisco, in December 1982, and moved to
Iran around the age of one year. After getting his diploma in
math
and physics, he moved to the US to continue his studies.
His specific research is on simulation of hybrid embedded
systems. He will graduate from Wright State University, in Dayton,
OH, in June 2006, and he plans to pursue his MS and PhD degrees. |
| Simon Ng is a rising senior at Michigan State University,
majoring in Computer Science. He is working this summer with Mentor
Haiyang Zheng.
Simon was born in Hong
Kong and grew up in Michigan since he was three years old. His
specific reserath with the SUPERB-IT program here at UC Berkeley
for the summer is the simulation of a bipedal walker that walks
down a slight slope, using the HyVisual modeling environment of
the Ptolemy II tool. His future plans are to attend graduate school
and head out into industry after completion. |
| Reinaldo Romero, aka Rey, is a rising senior
at Penn State University, majoring in Electrical Engineering. He
is
working
this summer with
Mentor Alessandro Pinto.
Aside from his academics,
he likes to play various sports including baseball, basketball,
volleyball, and soccer. |
For each of the six undergraduate researchers participating
in SUPERB, we have a graduate student mentor
who is working with the CHESS center in some way. |
