Are you currently looking for research assistants?: Yes
Number of Research Assistants Needed : 2
Relevant Research Assistant Major(s):
Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, 

Project Location:: 2000 Levy Ave
If the project location is off campus, does the research assistant(s) need to provide their own transportation?: Bus to Engineering Campus

Overall Research Project Description:
Students will get to utilize the high voltage laboratory equipment at FSU's Center for Advanced Power Systems. Students will also learn about zero emission aviation as part of a NASA University Leadership Initiative grant which focuses on zero emission aviation. It would also be nice to have students work on creating short video we can share on professional social media sites like LinkedIn  

Research Tasks:
Hands on experience in the lab, blow stuff up with high voltage electricity, play with liquid nitrogen.

Skills that research assistant(s) may need::
Ability to find transport to Center for Advanced Power Systems, Willingness to learn, Able to work as part of a large research team

Mentoring Philosophy:
I have mentored over 50 undergraduate students over the past 10 years. My philosophy is the students gets out of the experience what they put into it. I also try to setup a buddy system where new students work with other undergraduate researchers, grad students and postdocs to help them feel familiar and comfortable with the lab environment.
