Research topics will be related to nonlinear waves and pattern formation, using the theory of dynamical systems and partial differential equations. Applications include vegetation pattern formation and other topics in mathematical biology and ecology. To participate, students must be US citizens or permanent residents, and must have not yet completed their undergraduate degree by summer 2020. Selected students will receive a stipend of $3,600 plus up to $2,400 towards round trip airfare as well as accommodation.
