Hi, I'm a high school junior and was recently accepted into the Simons Summer Research Program at Stony Brook University. I have seven weeks during the summer to select a project and carry out experiments, possibly entering my research in the Intel Science Talent Search. I will be working in the laser teaching center with optics.
This is my first real research project, so I don't really know how to go about selecting a project. My mentor has given me some advice and I'll work with him in the final selection process, but at this point I'm just brainstorming ideas. I would be grateful if anyone could help me think of project ideas.
My current ideas include:
-Some exploration of gravitational lensing
-Something involving metamaterials with negative indexes of refraction (I have no idea what)
-Exploration of some properties of optical vortices
As you can see, these are rather vague, and any refinement would be greatly appreciated, as would any new ideas.
Thanks in advance for your help. :)
