2008 Undergraduate Research

Amine Benkiran has been awarded Undergraduate Fellowship from NASA WV Space Grant Consortium. Amine is now a Mathematics major and his advisor is Dr. Rajeev Rajaram [Update: Amine is now a graduate student in Penn State University with full scholarship ].

 

School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics had NASA day on April 24, 2008. CME students Raymond Naegle and William K. presented their NASA fellowship research work on NASA day.

 

Mr. Ray Naegle in CME department won one of two NASA awards in WVAS 2008 meeting for his poster titled Geometric and Removal Attack Resistant Watermarking in the Wavelet Domain”.  His mentor was Dr. Xiaojun Qi from Utah State University. Dr. Zhijun Wang, Dr. Liao and Dr. Rajaram have worked with Ray at Shepherd. Congratulations Ray.
