[Image: Eric Hughes]	UMBC Students taking part in the Physics Dept Intership Program this year presented their work in a poster session held in the Physics Department on 2005 Aug 05. Students worked in a variety of fields covering some of the research underway within both the Physics Dept at UMBC, and the affliated centers, namely CASPR, & the two centers associated with NASA/GSFC (the JCA & JCET).
Both Undergraduates and Graduate students from UMBC and elsewhere were awarded internships this year, and worked on projects in Astrophysics, Atmospheric Physics and Condensed Matter & Materials. The poster session was attended by many members of the Physics Dept along with many of the student's mentors.

The following students presented their research:

Abler, Andrea Dorrill, Ryan	Condensed Matter & Materials Testing the Behavior of Nonlinear Optical Polymers
Francis, Shawnta	Atmospheric Physics Handling the AERONET Data
Hand, Lauren	Atmospheric Physics Assessment of Precipitation Variability and Possible Linkages to Urban Land-Use Change
Hughes, Eric	Atmospheric Physics Construction and use of LED-based Sun Photometers
Koempel, John	Astrophysics Studies of Gamma-ray Bursts and Active Galactic Nuclei
Lanyi, Clifford	Atmospheric Physics Determining Size Distributions of Cloud Particles from Polarized Rainbows
Mehta, Kushal	Astrophysics The X-ray Emission from the HH212 Region
Raley, Caroline	Astrophysics Active Galactis Nuclei: OIII Emission vs X-ray Emission
Salemi, Anthony	Atmospheric Physics Atmospheric Remote Sensing Laboratory (ARSL)
Schou, Paul [Mich. Tech. U]	Atmospheric Physics TRMM Observations of Rainfall in Kwajalen Atoll
Svoysky, Roman	Atmospheric Physics A Better ELF
Wingert, Brian	Astrophysics X-ray Analysis of Mkn 766
