Supported by Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the Center for Scientific Machine Learning for Material Science (CSML-MS) invites undergraduates who are interested in data science to apply for the Summer Undergraduate REsearch program in Data Science (SURE-DS) this summer. The program starts May 20, 2024, ends June 28, 2024 and will be held virtually.
The selected students will be learning Python and machine learning, exploring, and analyzing data from various domains including physics, medical, and material sciences. Students will be given opportunities to present the result of their research.
The total stipend for each student is $3,000 upon completion of all assignments.
Requirements for applicants
If you are interested in, please contact and send the following items to Dr. Yunjiao Wang
(yunjiao.wang@tsu.edu), Dr. Daniel Vrinceanu (daniel.vrinceanu@tsu.edu), Dr. Noushin Ghaffari (noghaffari@PVAMU.EDU) or Dr. Lin Li (lilin@pvamu.edu) by April 12, 2024:
Abstract: The Hemibrain is the largest published connectome to date. It is the result of a dense reconstruction of over twenty thousand neurons and ten million synapses spanning the fruit fly Drosophila central brain. I will describe a novel approach to uncovering the hierarchical community structure of this connectome. This approach allows us to recover previously known and reveal novel features of the organization within the fly brain. Methods such as these will be essential to interpret the forthcoming connectomics data due to its size and complexity.
Bio:
Dr. Krešimir Josić is a John and Rebecca Moores Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Houston with adjunct appointments in Biology and Biochemistry at UH, and BioSciences at Rice. He received his PhD in 1999 in applied dynamical systems. Over the last 20 plus years he has worked in different areas of mathematical biology, with a focus on understanding the structure of neuronal activity, and modeling single celled organisms from the level of signaling pathways to large microbial populations.
Professor Josic has published over 100 research papers in top journals and one book, and received over a dozen of NSF and NIH grants. He has supervised 15 postdocs and 17 Ph.D students. He has also supervised many master students, undergraduates and high school students. In addition, he has contributes to the program Engines of Our Ingenuity which is broadcast by over 50 NPR stations nationwide. See more in his webpage: https://www.math.uh.edu/~josic/
Dr. Nancy L. Glenn Griesinger was recognized as mathematically gifted and black.
