[LA-SiGMA] LA-SiGMA REU: Interdisciplinary Research Experiences in Materials Science

[Bety Rodriguez-Milla]

Dear All,

On the webpage, REU/Projects, we have the SD1, SD2, SD3, and CTCI sections with a broad description of the research, but we also have the "sample research student projects" section with all the projects we have received listed there (just below CTCI section).

Regards,

-Bety

>> 
>> LA-SiGMA is now accepting applications for the Summer 2011 REU Program.  Please distribute this information to your undergraduate students as this is a Great Opportunity for them.
>> 
>> This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) project is a nine week program where students work collaboratively on a wide variety of materials science projects.   Each student receives a stipend of $4,500, free housing in university dormitories, and up to $400 in travel expenses.  30 students will be selected, 5 each at Louisiana State University, Louisiana Tech University, Southern University at Baton Rouge, Tulane University, University of New Orleans, and Xavier University of Louisiana.

>> Qualifications:
>> 
>> • interested in a major that is within the computational science umbrella (leaves out few majors as it includes all sciences, mathematics, and engineering) with at least a 2.75 GPA,
>> • considering a career in research and/or graduate school in your major, and
>> • a US citizen or permanent resident
>> 
>> Important Dates:
>> • January 18, 2011: Application opens.
>> • February 28, 2011: Application deadline.
>> • March 31, 2011: Notification of decision.
>> • May 23 or May 30:  Program begins, then lasts 9-10 weeks (dates vary by site)
>> 
>> The research activities of LA-SiGMA are organized into three Science Drivers:
>> -Electronic Materials
>> -Energy Materials
>> -Biomolecular Materials
>> and the CyberTools and Cyberinfrastructure group.
>> 
>> -These are broad, and sometimes overlapping, areas where faculty from diverse departments (Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computing Engineering, Biomolecular Engineering, Biology, Chemistry, etc.) collaborate in multidisciplinary projects. Our REU students will learn how to use some of the nation's largest supercomputers, may participate in the setup and management of large-scale simulations, and may take on an important role in the analysis and visualization of the simulation results.
