For the third year in a row, BMI faculty projects were selected by Google for the company’s Summer of Code program. GSoC is a global program focused on bringing more student developers into open source software development. Students work with an open source organization on a 3 month programming project during their break from school.
The Stony Brook BMI group’s application was organized by BMI Assistant Professor Fusheng Wang with projects supervised Dr. Wang (“Nuclei Segmentation in Pathology Images” with Graduate Student facilitator Pengyue Zhang and “RDMA-SparkGIS” with Graduate Student facilitator Furqan Baig) as well as by Professor Jonas S. Almeida (“Bug-O-Matic: App development for infectious microbial genomics”, “OpenHealth App development - The Cancer Genome Atlas” and “OpenHealth App development - public health”), Assistant Professor Yi Gao (“An interactive 3D segmentation algorithm/module in 3D Slicer”) and Assistant Professor Daifeng Wang (“Development of a deep learning framework to discover personalized cancer genomic medicine”).
Students apply to work on particular projects, and if chosen, Google pays the students a stipend for the summer and matches them to the faculty supervisor. Projects are completed on campus or remotely.
