REU 2024: May 28 – July 31, 2024

Complex Data Analysis Using Statistical and Machine Learning Tools 

UNC Greensboro, one of the campuses of the University of North Carolina System, will offer a 10-week REU program from May 28–July 31, 2024, for 10 nationally recruited undergraduate students from mathematical sciences. The program will be funded by NSF grant DMS-2244160.

The focus of the program will be on Complex Data Analysis using Statistical and Machine Learning Tools. The ten students will be divided into 4-5 research teams of up to 2-3 students, each headed by a team of faculty Mentors. Students will be able to choose from a wide range of Projects covering topics such as high dimensional data analysis, machine learning, robust data analysis, genetics, topological data analysis, and data confidentiality. 

Emphasis during the training will be on both theory and applications. In addition to focused research on these topics, the program will offer participants a broad professional development training through various workshops and invited lectures. The program will also include plenty of social activities such as weekly working lunches and occasional dinners (paid for by the program), and casual conversations on a variety of topics. 

Review of applications will begin on February 1, 2024 and will continue until all the 10 slots are filled.
