program Description
The Summer Undergraduate Applied Mathematics Institute (SUAMI) is an eight-week summer research program for undergraduate students. The goals of the SUAMI are twofold: (1) to expose students to the nature, culture, and rigors of advanced work and research in the area of applied mathematics; (2) to give the students a taste of the graduate school experience to help them make a more informed decision on whether they should attend graduate school. SUAMI is part of a larger summer program run by the Mellon College of Science at Carnegie Mellon, and SUAMI students will have opportunities to participate in the academic, cultural, and social programs of the larger MCS summer community. SUAMI 2026 will feature research projects in a variety of research areas including graph theory, liquid crystals, interacting particle systems, and low-dimensional topology. There will be both pure projects and projects motivated by applications. Previous coursework in the area of a project will not be necessary to participate in the project. Your application should include a statement (at most two pages in length) that explains why you are interested in participating in SUAMI. If you are interested in a particular research area, you should mention that. Please include in this statement a description of any obstacles and/or challenges that you have faced and overcome in your pursuit of studying mathematics. Applications should also include a CV, a transcript and two letters of recommendation. Dates of the program: May 27 through July 17, 2026. A final decision regarding the program format will be made and communicated as soon as possible. Participating students will receive a stipend, on-campus housing, a meal allowance, and reimbursement for domestic round-trip travel to Pittsburgh. The application deadline is February 15. Late applications will be considered until all spots in the program are filled.Application Materials Required:
