The University of
Arizona's Research
Training Group (RTG) in Data Driven Discovery supports
integrated research and training in data driven modeling
techniques and applications, including computational
neuroscience, fluid turbulence, medical imaging, and more. Our
Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU)
program provides opportunities to learn and apply foundational
mathematical and computing skills.
|
As a member of the RTG-REU, you will
-
work
with RTG
faculty, postdocs, and graduate students on data
driven modeling and applications;
- learn mathematical ideas fundamental for data
science;
- learn to use basic tools for data-intensive
scientific computing;
- learn to communicate science effectively;
- learn about applying to graduate schools.
Qualifications: we expect all REU
students to have completed a standard calculus
sequence (including vector calculus) and have had some
exposure to linear algebra and differential equations
at the time they start the REU; some of our projects
may benefit from additional background knowledge.
Experience with some form of programming, e.g., Matlab
or Python, is helpful but not required. (If you're
interested but unsure whether you qualify,
just ask!)
For Summer 22:
- The Summer 2022 RTG-REU program will start in
early to mid June, and end in early August. (We are
well aware that some of you may have exams in early
June, and will be happy to work around your
schedule as needed.)
- Fulltime, 40 hour per week commitment
required.
- Modality: we have not yet decided on whether the
program will be in person or online for Summer 2022,
but will decide very soon.
- Eligible participants will receive a stipend for
the summer.
Potential projects include
Depending on interest and availability, we can also
arrange projects with other RTG
faculty, postdocs, and graduate students. Let us
know your areas of interest and/or whom you'd like to
work with in your application, and we'll do our best to
match you with a suitable advisor and project!

Application. The application for our
Summer 2022 RTG-REU will open soon. If you are interested
and would like to be notified, just write an email
to Prof. Kevin Lin.
|
Diversity commitment: we encourage
applications from traditionally under-represented
groups.
The University
of Arizona is a Hispanic Serving Institution and an
