Wittenberg students in a wide variety of backgrounds have found unique internships in the field of Computational Science.
Summer 2008
Melissa Cederqvist (2010), working with AFRL, Research Directorate used computational molecular dynamics techniques to study heat transfer properties of polymers. The work is continuing through the current semester. WPAFB research at Wittenberg funded by DOE
Adeline Brym (2010) continues the work begun in 2006 by Tim Verrilli in the investigation of properties of thiazole as a potential material for use in new battery and energy storage technologies. WPAFB research at Wittenberg funded by DOE
Janelle Mahowald (2010) – Computational Chemistry - research at Wittenberg funded by DOE
Nam Vu (2010) – Comparison of US and Chinese economic performance – research at Wittenberg, funded by DOE

*Over the past several years, Wittenberg has developed an internship with Datatel Corporation, a leading producer of software systems for universities. Each summer, several students train and work at Datatel's corporate home in Virginia, then return to Wittenberg to work in the University Computing Center. Many of these student join Datatel after graduation.
