USA: Undergraduate Summer Research Opportunity in Applied Math at UCLA

Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS)
Dates: June 25 - August 25, 2006
Sponsor: Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics at UCLA
Deadline for Applications Due: February 15, 2006

The Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM), a national research institute supported by The National Science Foundation, is now accepting applications for its 2006 Summer Program, Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS). RIPS is a nine-week, intensive residential research experience for math, engineering, computer science and physical/life science undergraduate students that assigns teams of four students to a project designed by an industrial sponsor. Industrial sponsors provide important direction to the students about their project. Students also visit the industrial site at least once during the summer. Last year's project sponsors were: Arete Associates, Inc., The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos National Laboratories, Hewlett Packard, Inc., Microsoft, Inc.,TimeLogic, Inc. and Pixar Animation Studios.

The RIPS web site at http://www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/rips2006/  gives the full details.

Student participants are selected from an international applicant pool to provide the broadest possible intellectual and cultural experience to the students who participate in our program. Students who have a sufficient background for the program are usually rising juniors, seniors or are about to graduate. Further information about the program, financial support, and application procedures is available online (see URL above). The RIPS 2006 poster is also available online. Please refer appropriate students to the site and encourage them to apply.
