The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) is a program open to students from all over the world who want to carry out a 10-week project at Caltech. LTH has a well established tradition of sending students through the SURF-program to projects hosted by Richard Murray, professor of Control and Dynamical Systems and Bioengineering at Caltech. The coordinator at LTH is Anders Rantzer. A list of past projects is given below. See also instructions for applications. Selected applicants will be contacted by Murray around January 31 with instructions to prepare a full proposal before the official SURF deadline.
