Happy July!

Thanks for responding to the invitation of summer meeting! Unfortunately, due to the diverse schedules and unavailability of many members. We will postpone the meeting for now.

The original meeting is designed for teams to make presentations to the whole class. It will greatly help you understand and internalize the papers/materials you have studied, and start brainstorming about the detail project ideas. For teams who have made progress on your study, you can start summarize your notes and create PowerPoint presentations. We will start team presentation at the beginning of the semester. 

During the summer, I am thinking that it might be easier to run some online meeting through teleconference or blog discussion for individual groups, and you will be invited on group-by-group bases.

Happy July!

Greetings from the Computer Vision Lab of CCNY

Hi All, Greetings!

Time flies! It has been almost two weeks into the summer vacation. How were your summer so far? I am currently working intensively on the Electrovibration project at the Computer Vision Lab at CCNY, and will soon start looking into the Senseg Feelscreen development platform.

As described in your team's blog, your first assignment has been due since last Friday. After enjoying the wonderful July 4th weekend, it's time to start working again! How is your progress? I have received very good electronic notes from three teams so far. Please copy and paste your notes unto a post, or provide a link to your notes in your team blog if you haven't done so. If you fell behind the schedule, just post whatever you have to show your progress. I will be posting your next assignment by Monday based on your current progress shown on your blog. In the mean time, you can continue working on the remaining tasks from the last assignment. Even though many of you have jobs, courses, camps, trips, etc., I still believe that the summer is the best time to do research and make substantial progress. So, try to spare some time everyday to work on your project. Research is not an overnight effort, but a long term pursue. You can only see the glorious results through inch-by-inch movement.

 

By the way,  the Open Sunday for the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is coming! On July 12, there is a special event called Exploring the Ultra Small will be held at The Center for Functional Materials of BNL. If some of you plans to go, please comment on this post at the class blog. I will provide you the travel info, and people can go together. Though it is not a formal school trip, I will be there too. It is a place really worth visiting.

In addition, we plan to have our first summer meeting next week. Since everyone may have different schedule, we will try to find the great common factor among all of you. Please fill in the short survey (click the link) by Friday, and I will let you know the result. Hope to see you soon!

Happy Researching!
