Prospective Students: Students of all majors who are interested in joining the SLAMLab should contact Dr. Ahmed directly. Please include a brief statement (~1 paragraph) including: who you are, your future goals, and your interest in SLAMLab. Please also include an updated CV. Prospective research students should have completed – or be close to completing – introductory coursework in physics (mechanics) and mathematics (calculus). Previous computer programming experience is big plus, but not required.
Meet the team!
