REU Site: Research Experiences for Undergraduates Internship in Supercomputing for Physical Science and Mathematics

该奖项由数学科学和化学学部联合资助，支持明尼苏达大学双城分校2005-2007年夏季本科生研究经验（REU）站点。项目主管是大卫·托马斯。每年夏天将有12名学生在明尼苏达大学超级计算研究所参与这个项目。该项目的重点是计算方法在数学和物理科学中的应用。该计划的目的是激发参与者从事涉及计算机科学和先进计算应用于物理科学和数学前沿问题的研究的兴趣。被选中的实习生将受到超级计算研究所活跃的教员研究人员的监督和建议，并与教员及其研究小组密切合作。他们将准备一份关于他们工作的书面报告，并在项目结束时就他们的研究做一个展示。学生将在全国范围内招收，包括那些来自女性和少数民族学生入学率高的院校的学生。对计算机科学、科学计算、可视化、物理或生物科学或工程感兴趣的学生是本课程的重点。

This award, jointly funded by the Division of Mathematical Sciences and Chemistry, supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities for the summers of 2005-2007. The program director is David Thomas. Twelve students per summer will be involved in this project at the University of Minnesota Supercomputing Institute. The focus of the project is the application of computational approaches to the mathematical and physical sciences. The program's purpose is to stimulate the interest of participants in pursuing careers in research that involve the application of computer science and advanced computation to cutting-edge problems in physical sciences and mathematics. The selected interns will be supervised and advised by active faculty researchers at the Supercomputing Institute and work closely with the faculty members and their research groups. They will prepare a written report on their work and make a presentation about their research at the end of the program. Students will be recruited nationally, including those from institutions with high enrollment of women and minority students. Students with interests in computer science, scientific computation, visualization, physical or biological science, or engineering are the focus of this program.
