The students spent the summer working on their projects with a mentor from Leidos. The students were all undergraduate and graduate students of ECE, CS, and ISR. Leidos makes a generous contribution every year to support UMD research, education programs, student activities and fellowships. The commitment of support reflects an ongoing relationship between Leidos and UMD to provide high-quality education and research opportunities for students and faculty. We are proud of the Leidos interns and their extraordinary work! Photos from the event can be viewed here.
