SUMMER 2002 STUDENT RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS AWARDED
The SMART (Student/Mentor Academic Research
Teams) committee is proud to announce that three students, Mr. Stuart Orr, Mr.
Jacob Ratkiewicz, and Ms. Alicia Zimmerle, will be awarded Research Fellowships
for Summer 2002. Each student will receive a $3000 stipend and will work
closely with his or her faculty mentor to complete a 10-week research project.
This year's awardees come from the fields of biology, computer science, and
anthropology.
Stuart Orr's project is entitled "A comparison of plant species diversity
between restored tallgrass prairies and native prairie remnants." He will be
conducting his research at The Nature Conservancy's Kankakee Sands Prairie
Restoration Site in Newton Co., IN. The overall objective of this work will be
to test the success of the The Nature Conservancy's restoration practices at
recreating the plant species composition and diversity that was originally
present in the once widespread prairie ecosystems of northwestern Indiana. His
faculty mentors are Assistant Professor Deborah Marr and Associate Professor
Andrew Schnabel, Department of Biology.
Jacob Ratkiewicz's project is entitled "Application of Self-Organizing Maps to
Texture Visualization and Analysis." The goals of his project are to use
artificial neural networks to help visualize the multiple statistical
descriptors that are generated during the analysis of textures, which is an
important component of computer vision. His work has many practical
applications, including product inspection and analysis of medical and satellite
images. His mentor is Associate Professor James Wolfer, Department of Computer
Science.
Alicia Zimmerle's project is entitled "A Local Ethnographic Excursion." The
goals of this project are to produce a multi-faceted anthropological and
historical portrait of Elkhart, IN. Ms. Zimmerle's ethnographic excursion into
Elkhart will focus on four major themes: the physical environment, growth and
changes in industry and commerce, cultural and ethnic groups, and personal
stories and unique characteristics. Her faculty mentor is Associate Professor
Rebecca Tortstrick, Department of Sociology.
In addition to summer fellowships, the SMART program awards research expense
grants, travel grants, and internship grants to students on a competitive basis
throughout the academic year. For details on the program, click on
