Raytracing and Physics in Space w/ Husky Satellite Lab

The Husky Satellite Lab’s science team (HSL Projects) is looking for creative talent to design new algorithms to test in space (with UW’s very own satellite) and write papers about!

Learn how to create your own raytracing algorithm to simulate light physics in Earth’s atmosphere, then compete in teams to see close you can get to (or whether you can beat…?) UW’s model. Also, hang out with part of the science team and learn about what we do or pitch your ideas to us. Our main fields of interests are raytracing, atmospheric rendering, optimization, computer vision, optical navigation, star tracking, and orbit simulation, but the team would love to invest resources in any interesting and novel algorithms you might want to explore using a camera in space.

If you’re interested in a career in academia, this is the perfect place to train skills in mathematical and algorithmic creativity and practice writing papers.

Anyone looking for a job in aerospace or engineering can find many connections and opportunities through HSL.
