Part-Time Student OPS Programming Job Opportunity

 Part-Time Student OPS Programming Job Opportunity                                     Dec 3, 2024

I am seeking a graduate student for a part-time programming position to contribute to a funded project focused on simulating the tunneling behavior of subterranean termites. The project aims to develop a stochastic lattice-based gas model to simulate termite foraging patterns beneath the surface in search of food resources. The project is set to be completed by April 2025 and will involve programming in Python or R.

Project Overview:

Previous laboratory studies with planar foraging arenas have provided valuable insights into tunnel construction mechanics and the factors influencing tunnel geometry. Using this empirical data (e.g., branching angles), the model will simulate termite tunneling patterns from a colony introduction point, interacting with bait stations and determining the first interception time.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Model Development: Implement a stochastic lattice-based gas model to simulate termite tunneling behavior.
  • Temporal Visualization: Develop a dynamic visualization to display the tunneling process over time within the lattice environment.
  • Model Validation: Conduct statistical comparisons between the simulated tunnel network characteristics and those observed in earlier laboratory studies, including analysis of arena timelapse videos.

 Requirements:

  • Proficiency in Python or R.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and an interest in ecological modeling.
  • Ability to work independently and collaborate on an interdisciplinary project.

Additional Details:

  • Hours: Flexible, part-time with negotiable weekly hours.
  • Compensation: Hourly pay rate is negotiable based on experience.

English Speech Survey for Indian students

I hope this email finds you well. The UF Data Studio Lab is conducting research to improve speech recognition for Indian English accents. To support this study, we've created a brief 4-5 minute survey that includes simple speech tasks. We believe the participation of Indian graduate students can be really helpful to our research. Could you kindly share this survey link with Indian graduate students in the CS department?  Survey Link: https://ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bsypey1tUeqAic6 Qualtrics Survey | Qualtrics Experience Management The most powerful, simple and trusted way to gather experience data.
