SUMMER@ICERM: Undergraduate Summer Research Program at Brown University "Mathematical Models to Predict, Prepare, and Prevent" from June 10 - August 2, 2024
Organizing Committee: Amanda Harsy (Lewis University), Adam Schultze (Lewis University), Brittany Stephenson (Lewis University), Cara Sulyok (Lewis University)
The eight-week Summer@ICERM 2024 program is designed for a select group of 18-22 undergraduate scholars. It comes with a $4,000 stipend. Providence, RI room, board, and travel funding provided. When completing the application, please provide brief responses to open-ended questions. Mathematical modeling allows researchers to address questions and test hypotheses that may not be feasible to study otherwise. The Summer@ICERM 2024 faculty advisors will present a variety of research projects centered around approaches to using mathematical modeling for making predictions and determining associated preparations and necessary preventions in the fields of epidemiology, precision nutrition, and sports analytics. Faculty will guide the development of appropriate models and computational tools that can aid in answering fundamental questions in these fields. During the eight-week program, students will be introduced to the research topics through interactive lectures. Afterward, students will work on their projects in assigned groups of two to four, supervised by faculty advisors and aided by teaching assistants. Students will meet daily; give regular talks about their findings; attend mini-courses, guest talks, and professional development seminars; and practice coding. Students will learn how to collaborate mathematically while working closely with their teams to write a paper detailing their results. 2024 Proposed Research Topics
