Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program (REU)

本科学生与圣达菲研究所的教师导师一起完成一个单独的项目，重点关注复杂系统的计算特性的某些方面。SFI广泛的研究项目旨在理解复杂系统的共同特征和理解具体例子的巨大多样性。项目侧重于自适应计算；物理、数学、信息科学和计算方面的复杂性；经济学是一个复杂的适应性系统；生命科学包括免疫系统建模、理论神经生物学、基因数据分析、理论生态学和蛋白质折叠模型。这个项目是高度个性化的。每个学生与一位或多位教师导师合作完成一个特定的自选项目。参与者预计将在大约5月中旬至8月中旬的窗口期内居住大约10周。

Undergraduate students work with a Santa Fe Institute faculty mentor on an individual project focusing on some aspect of the computational properties of complex systems. SFI's broad program of research is aimed at understanding both the common features of complex systems and at comprehending the enormous diversity of specific examples. Projects focus on adaptive computation; physics, mathematics, information science, and computational aspects of complexity; economics as a complex,adaptive system; and the life sciences including modeling of the immune system, theoretical neurobiology, genetic data analysis, theoretical ecology, and models of protein folding. This program is highly individualized. Each student works with one or more faculty mentors on a specific self-selected project. Participants are expected to be in residence approximately 10 weeks, within the approximate mid-May to mid-August window.
