This summer, Rachel will be working with Professor Cole in the College of Creative Arts/Reed College Media. She will be working on a mobile game called WV Quest, which is an educational app in collaboration with the West Virginia State Museum in Charleston, WV. She will also be working on publishing a "beta" version of the game on Google Play and the App Store.

This week's S.U.R.E participant is Callum Lorimer. Callum is working in the Neuromechanical Intelligence Laboratory (NeuroMINT) under Dr. Nicholas Szorcinski this summer, where he will be studying neural networks within Drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly, by integrating a synthetic nervous system with a computer model of the insect's frontal plane. He is programming the synthetic nervous system using the SNS-Toolbox python package, which allows users to add neurons and make connections between them to simulate the structure and function of biological nervous systems. MuJoCo physics simulation software, where body parts and muscle fibers based on the anatomy of Drosophila melanogaster, is being used to create a mechanical model of the fly. When both of these components are integrated, the result will be a neuromechanical model of a Drosophila melanogaster that will use sensory information from the physics simulation to adjust its motor output The input from the simulated model will include information about the fly's femur-tibia joint angle, movement speed, and direction, as well as information about the strain on the leg of the fly. This information will be processed by the synthetic nervous system, which will output instructions to the muscle fibers in the mechanical model, allowing it to maintain its posture and stabilize itself against unexpected external perturbations. This model can be applied to legged robots once complete, and ultimately will provide insight into how organisms integrate sensory information from multiple modalities to control their locomotion.

This summer we will be highlighting a few of our Undergraduate students who are participating in the S.U.R.E. program.

Great Ayilaran's research focuses on using machine learning and computer vision to determine if a driver is distracted in real time.The goal is to create a model that can distinguish safe driving attributes from unsafe ones and with the model they can program cars to react based on different scenarios or use as a sort of tracker model.

At Trilogy Innovations, we believe in learning by doing. Action builds experience. This belief is at the core of why we are proud to donate the upcoming cybersecurity lab to WVU Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources's faculty and students.

Keeping West Virginia talent in our state is one of our key priorities: “Helping to grow the IT/tech industry in West Virginia gives our college graduates options to stay and live in this state,” says Randy Cottle. Creating resources for students to kickstart their learning and connecting them with local opportunities is essential to uplifting our communities through technology.

We are grateful to continue to collaborate with the talented faculty and students at and . We would also like to thank for their continued efforts and collaboration.

Well done Isabella!

Today, Lane Department’s computer science PhD student, Jacob Thrasher, led a Women In Computing event for seven female high school students interested in cybersecurity, computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering majors. Current WVU LCSEE undergraduate students Mallory Anderson, Kaylea Lantz, Bella Lutz, Olivia Gottlieb, and Stephanie Kish shared their academic, extracurricular, and internship stories and fun experiences. These female STEM undergrads also worked together with the high schoolers on an engaging activity of creating pseudocode to make AI solve a Wordle game.
It was a great day of showing girls aspiring to be engineers how it would be if they studied at WVU and were a part of the Lane Department!
