    Initial communication will take place via email, with the potential for creating a Microsoft Teams group as needed. Timely communication is essential, and responses are expected within 24 hours at the latest, though quicker replies are encouraged.
    Weekly group meetings will be held with all UROP students working under Dr. Berger’s supervision on similar projects. While every week is the target, meetings may occasionally shift to a biweekly schedule under constrained circumstances. During these meetings, students are expected to present progress reports and establish objectives for the upcoming week.
    Students are encouraged to reach out to their advisor via email or Teams if they require assistance.

  overall_research_project_description: 'This project aims to improve two advanced optical flow diagnostics — Self-Aligned Focusing Schlieren (SAFS) and Focused Laser Differential Interferometry (FLDI) — by testing and implementing larger diameter field lenses. The work will take place in the experimental aerodynamics laboratory and involve hands-on alignment, calibration, and testing of optical systems that use lasers to visualize and measure flow structures. The goal is to increase measurement sensitivity and field of view while maintaining system stability.'
