Research Experiences for Undergraduate Faculty
The Research Experiences for Undergraduate Faculty (REUF) annual workshops are a formal collaboration between ICERM and the American Institute of Mathematics (AIM). These workshops bring together leading research mathematicians and faculty based at primarily undergraduate institutions to investigate open questions in the mathematical sciences and to equip participants with tools to engage in research with undergraduate students. REUF also serves to jump-start faculty who want to re-engage in research or who are considering a change in their research area.
- Program Details
- Accepted participants will receive support for travel, accommodation, and per diem. Preference will be given to faculty who teach and advise substantial numbers of minority students. Upcoming REUF programs are generally posted/open in early winter of each year.
- Deadline
- Early-to-mid spring
- REUF Continuation Groups
- There are opportunities for participants to continue research activities beyond the workshop week. Past participants should contact ulrica_wilson@icerm.brown.edu if interested in more details.
- Outcomes
- View REUF outcomes that have been tracked since 2009.
REUF is supported by the National Science Foundation through DMS grants 1620073 to AIM and 1620080 to ICERM.

Research Experiences for Undergraduate Faculty (REUF) on the Mathematics of Data, at Duke University, Durham, NC
Jul 18 - 22, 2016
This workshop, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Departments of Mathematics and Statistical Science at Duke, is part of the REUF program that brings together leading research mathematicians with faculty at undergraduate institutions who are interested in involving their student in areas of active research. The Workshop is also a research renewal opportunity for faculty who want to re-engage in research or are considering a change of research.
REUF on the Mathematics of Data will focus on the recently developing fields that lie at the interface of pure mathematics and big data analytics; for example, manifold learning, topological data analysis, and wavelet theory. Faculty trained in topology, geometry, algebra, or analysis will work on problem that are phrased in the language of their fields but are accessible to dedicated undergraduates through the use of computers.
The majority of the workshop will be spent working in small research groups, reporting on progress,... (more)
