CSU

Participating in the CSU research competition at the university level is an excellent way to gain experience communicating your research at conferences and symposia and to enhance your resume or curriculum vitae. This year San Francisco State University will host the campus-level competition from Monday, February 24th to Friday, February 28, 2025. The event will be virtual.

The Dean of Graduate Studies at San Francisco State University selects up to ten campus winners to compete in the 39^th Annual Student Research Competition. The competition recognizes outstanding accomplishments of student researchers from among all 23 CSU campuses and will be held in-person.

As part of a Department of Energy RENEW grant, we have internship opportunities at Sandia National Laboratories exploring quantum information science and technology. Example internship projects include Characterizing a Broadband Electro-Optical Modulator for Trapped Ion Quantum Computing, Artificial Intelligence for Brain-Computer-Interfaces using Atomic Magnetic Sensors, Exploring Topological Material-Based Device Physics, Designing and Building an Optical Switchboard for Trapped Ion Atomic Clocks, and Creating Accessible Materials to Introduce Quantum in Underserved Communities. The internships are in-person and are only open to CSU students. Participants must be an enrolled undergraduate student at any CSU campus, able to relocate to Livermore CA, or Albuquerque NM depending on project ($1500 relocation assistance available), and be able to work 40 hours a week for 10-12 weeks between May and September 2025. Interns will be compensated $30/hour. More information is in the attached flyer.

Cal State CREATE is a CSU-wide creative event and competition in collaboration with Adobe and Apple. Similar to Adobe Creative Jams, CSU students of all majors have the opportunity to explore creative tools and design unique, personal projects eligible for prizes.

This year's theme, "Future Ready in the CSU", explores areas of emerging technologies, career readiness, and what it means to be prepared for our evolving world. How does healthcare use virtual reality to help with patient care? How does agriculture use predictive algorithms to help with harvests? How do creatives use generative AI to supplement their creations? To kick off Cal State CREATE events, a panel of professionals from various industries will share their experiences of how technology and digital literacy shape their work and help with their success.

All are welcome to join us Monday, April 8 at noon PDT for the Cal State CREATE kick-off panel, then students are invited to complete creative design challenges to build their digital skillset and enter a raffle for prizes. See design challenge specific below for more details!
