Summer Research Opportunity in STEM
Applications are now being accepted for the NSF-REU program "Advancing High-Performance Computing Opportunities in Undergraduate Research at UW-Eau Claire to Meet Challenges of Multidisciplinary Computational Science".
The REU site at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire will provide a comprehensive research experience in high-performance computing and its importance in several research domains. Students will get an opportunity to conduct research in any of the research domains mentioned below:
- Bioinformatics: Understanding Evolutionary Phenomena with sequence analysis.
- Computer Science: Machine and deep learning and computer vision
- Chemistry and Biochemistry: Quantum chemical simulation and multiscale modeling
- Geography and Anthropology: UAV-based vegetation mapping with GIS
- Materials Science and Biomedical Engineering: Machine learning force fields and deep learning applications in superconducting wire Assessment.
This 9-week, in-person program will run from June 2 – August 1, 2025. Participants in this REU program will receive a $6,300 stipend. Food and housing will be provided by UW Eau Claire Housing, with no additional cost to participants. All field trips will be arranged for the student participants. Participants will be given a $600 travel allowance for attending the program.
