REU – Center for Research in Computer Vision

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has designated the Center for Research in Computer Vision at the University of Central Florida (UCF) as a site for Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) in the area of Computer Vision for 2021-2023. The purpose of the REU is to encourage undergraduate students to pursue graduate school and research careers. UCF has continued to be an REU site in Computer Vision since the inception of REU by NSF in 1987. Through the longest REU program in the country, Dr. Shah and his colleagues have trained more than 300 REU students from more than 75 universities all over the USA, resulting in more than 80 high quality journal and conference publications. All previous REU participants successfully completed their degree in computer science related areas; about half have continued with graduate studies, several participants are now faculty members at different universities, and several participants have started their own companies.
