Undergraduate Publishes Paper as Part of an REU Program

The National Science Foundation supports "Research Experiences for Undergraduate" (REU) programs at universities throughout the United States. Oakland has run several such programs, including the Summer Materials Research Training (SMaRT) program in the Department of Physics. Outstanding undergraduates participate in these programs, to the benefit of both the student and their faculty mentor. In the June 2009 issue of Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, CBR member Brad Roth and undergraduate Kevin Schalte published the results of their research as part of the SMaRT program (Ultrasonically-Induced Lorentz Force Tomography, Volume 47, Pages 573-577). Their study provides a new method to image electrically conductivity in biological tissue.
