The REU project is an extension of the NSF CAREER project "High Performance Spatial Queries and Analytics for Spatial Big Data". Students will conduct interdisciplinary research on GIS based public health studies and digital pathology image analytics. In particular, one project will be on big spatial analytics driven research on opioid epidemic studies, and another project will be on spatial and imaging analytics on pathology imaging for disease understanding.
You will work in the Lab of Data Management and Biomedcial Data Analytics, directed by Dr. Fusheng Wang (https://www.cs.stonybrook.edu/~fuswang). We invite you to join a community of undergraduate researchers, graduate students and faculty to develop innovative solutions for processing, managing, and analyzing large scale data.

The REU Experience
The REU program at Stony Brook University “Big Spatial and Image Data Analytics” is an opportunity for qualified, academically talented and motivated undergraduate students interested in eventually pursuing their doctor degree in Computer Science or Biomedical Informatics. The program provides the student an intensive research experience with leading researchers in the field.
The program is expected to run from May 29 - August 2, 2019. The REU student will participate in a research project mentored by Dr. Fusheng Wang and his Ph.D. students and become fully integrated in the research group. The student will attend weekly research meetings, and present the research results. The student will also attend academic development workshops co-located with other Stony Brook University REU site, and have the opportunity to present a poster at the REU symposium.
Award
- The participant will receive a stipend of $500 per week, for a total of $5000 summer stipend for full time research.
- Housing and meals will be provided to the participant.
- A $500 travel award is provided if the participant lives more than 75 miles from the Stony Brook Campus.
