ICRAR, with iVEC, hosted 10 undergraduate students as part of our first summer studentship program in 2009.
The 10 students from WA and around Australia worked with ICRAR staff on ten week research projects.
Topics included creating a radio meteor tracker, working on computer visualisations of the universe and research for current telescope projects. At the end of their time at ICRAR each student presented their work at a presentation day for ICRAR staff.
