Imagine spending eight-weeks on the beautiful Brown University campus in historic Providence, RI, working in a small team setting to solve mathematical research problems developed by faculty experts in their fields.

Imagine creating career-building connections between peers, near peers (graduate students and postdocs), and academic professionals.

Imagine spending your summer in a fun, memorable, and intellectually stimulating environment.

Now, imagine having this experience with support for travel within the U.S., room and board paid, plus a $3,000 stipend*.

The 2016 Summer@ICERM program is designed for a select group of 14-16 undergraduate scholars. Students work in groups of two to four, supervised by faculty advisors and aided by teaching assistants. The faculty advisors present a number of research topics that are centered around modeling, dynamical systems, and stochastic systems.

Examples include stripe formation in zebrafish, the structure of roll patterns that arise in buckling and vegetation patterns, and the dynamics of planar spiral waves. Tackling these problems will require a combination of analytical and computational approaches. Students form research groups to work on these problems, give talks about their findings, and write up their research into a paper at the end of the program.
