Multidisciplinary Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates
Multidisciplinary Summer REU in Computation and Control of Biological and Biologically Inspired Systems
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Texas Tech University will host a multidisciplinary undergraduate research program in computation and control of biological and biologically inspired systems. This program will be sponsored by the National Science Foundation REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) and the Department of Defense ASSURE (Awards to Stimulate and Support Undergraduate Research Education). This 8-week summer research experience is scheduled to be held between June 04, 2007 to July 27, 2007 and it will support eight-ten undergraduate students and a K-12 teacher. The proposed REU program will consist of interesting and challenging projects arising from computational modeling, systems & control, geometric modeling, and applications of complex analytic methods.
Applicants must be undergraduate students who will be completing their junior or senior year by June 2007. Every selected student participant will be provided a stipend of $2,400, free on-campus housing and meals, and a travel allowance up to $500. Students with a strong background in advanced calculus, linear algebra and differential equations are eligible to apply. Women and underrepresented minorities are particularly encouraged to apply. Please note that under NSF rules, only U.S. Citizens and permanent residents are eligible to receive stipends and support for housing and travel costs.
