JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS:

The Department of Geosciences, College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, seeks two undergraduate research assistants as part of a project to test the novel use of underground fiber-optic cables for use in sensing hazards and underground phenomena like sinkhole formation, landslides, flooding, and sewer leakage.

This is part of a project happening in Pittsburgh PA that is funded by the National Science Foundation. You can find some more information on the overall project here (https://sites.psu.edu/pittsburghhazards/) and here (https://www.psu.edu/news/earth-and-mineral-sciences/story/using-machine-learning-existing-fiber-optic-cables-track/) .

One student assistant will be primarily mentored by Prof. Tieyuan Zhu (https://www.geosc.psu.edu/directory/tieyuan-zhu) , while the other student would be primarily mentored by Prof. Lauren McPhillips (https://sites.psu.edu/lmcphillips/) . The student working with Prof. Zhu's group would be more focused on the fiber-optic sensor technology, data analysis and visualization of fiber optic data, and analysis of other sensors related to geohazards (e.g. seismometers). The student working with Prof. McPhillips's group would also learn how to process data from the fiber-optic sensors, but would be focused more on connecting these signals with data from other water-related sensors like sewer flow data and soil water sensors. Because the project is based in the City of Pittsburgh, we seek students who attend Greater Allegheny campus, or who are from the Pittsburgh area, as the assistant would periodically be helping with maintenance of sensors in Pittsburgh, and potentially with community engagement activities as well. There would be opportunities to interact with partners at Penn State Center- Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority, and the City of Pittsburgh.

To be considered, please apply.
