| The Lafayette College mathematics department will be hosting an REU site for 10 students for the summer of 2024. Through close mentorship with their faculty advisors, small student research groups will investigate open problems in mathematics and statistics and share their work in the form of articles, posters, and group presentations. Our program is scheduled to run this coming summer from June 3 to July 26. Students will then participate in the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Seattle, WA (January 8-11, 2025).
The three research areas for 2024 will be Financial Mathematics and VIX, Optimal Transport and Monge-Ampere Equations, and Algebraically Defined Edge-Colored Graphs. This year’s mentors will be Professors Qin Lu, Farhan Abedin (with Jun Kitagawa from Michigan State University), and the team of Karen McCready (from King’s College) and Brian Kronenthal (from Kutztown University). Project descriptions can be found at our website https://math.lafayette.edu/opportunities/reu/.
Participants receive a 9-week stipend of $5400 (8 weeks in the summer and 1 week for JMM), free housing and a flex spending account during the summer, and support for conference travel and expenses. Planned special events include both professional development activities as well as social events.
All participants must be undergraduate students who are U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or permanent residents of the United States. Participants must be enrolled in an undergraduate institution including for the fall period after the conclusion of the summer research experience. Participants should not have received a bachelor's degree before December 2024.
First-generation college students and students from underrepresented groups or institutions without a strong undergraduate research program are particularly encouraged to apply. |
