Guest Researcher Fellowship
Karslruhe Institute of Technology
Perseus II Underwater Vehicle Project
Department of Defence through the Applied Research Laboratory at Penn State University
The Perseus II Project is designed to enhance undergraduate STEM education. The primary goal of the project is to explore if undergraduate students, with reasonable funding, could assemble in a short period of time, an Underwater Vehicle capable of searching for, locating, and gathering data on object identity. Role in grant: Co-PI
