Interested in experiencing research in probability? Join us this summer for the fourth Markov Chains REU at UConn's beautiful Storrs Campus or online (photos guaranteed), depending on... you know. The program is eight weeks long, from Monday June 7th through Friday July 30st. The program is is generously funded by a grant from the National Security Agency with help from department of mathematics at UConn. The program is organized and run by Dr. lddo Ben-Ari. Due to funding and accounting constraints, we will only consider applications from US citizens or permanent residents. We are very sorry, but we cannot make any exceptions under any circumstances, even with other sources of funding. If you are not a US citizen or a US permanent resident, please do not apply. In this program
After two-three weeks dedicated to preparation and getting to know each other better, we will split students into two-three person groups, each working on an individual research project. Visit our website for a description of the research projects from previous years. We are looking to form a scientifically diverse group. Although our research is in pure math, we do not restrict our selection to math majors. Nevertheless, we expect students to have very strong mathematical footing and some basic knowledge of undergraduate probability. Acquaintance with Markov chains or stochastic processes is welcome but is not a requirement. Each student will receive a stipend of $4,000 and - if we run the program in person in Storrs - housing for the duration of the program (a little before or after, if necessary) in shared dorms on campus. Additional support to help cover travel costs may be available. To apply, submit the following:
