The University of Minnesota Complex Systems REU is a six-week program (June 16-July 27, 2022) designed to engage students in research problems in dynamical systems and pattern formation. This year’s projects will be geared towards understanding tipping points in social dynamics and in ecology. We are seeking four students to work on two projects in close collaboration with faculty mentor Arnd Scheel as well as graduate student mentors Montie Avery, Olivia Cannon, and Sally Jankovic. Students will share an office in the School of Mathematics and have daily access to both faculty and graduate student mentors. 
Potentially relevant fields of math include dynamical systems, numerical analysis and scientific computing, bifurcation theory, PDE theory, and harmonic analysis. The focus of the projects will be shaped by student interest, and prior background in these fields is not required. Some coursework in differential equations will be helpful. No prior research experience is required.

Participants will receive a stipend of $3,000 as well as up to $2,000 for travel and living expenses. Students will need to be US citizens or permanent residents in order to receive funding. Women and underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to apply. 

Application deadline: February 7, 2022
