The Department of Mathematics at SMU invites applications for two consecutive
two-week research and training experiences covering topics in mathematical
and computational neuroscience (REU 1) and dynamics in complex systems (REU 2).

|
REU 1: Computation-Enabled Investigations into Neural Circuits
Dates: June 21-July 2, 2021
Faculty Mentors: Andrea Barreiro and Kathryn Hedrick.
Description: Research projects will use experimental data from partner
labs in the UT Southwestern Department of Neuroscience.
REU 2: Dynamics in Complex Systems
Dates: July 6-16, 2021
Faculty Mentors: Minh-Binh Tran and Alejandro Aceves.
Description: Research projects will center on applications in nonlinear optics and general wave phenomena.
We anticipate some projects will be in collaboration with national or private laboratories.

Selected students will receive a stipend of $1,200 per two-week session,
plus up to $600 towards travel to Dallas as well as accommodation.
We encourage applications from women and other groups traditionally
underrepresented in mathematics. Students can apply to one or both REUs.
Application Requirements
Please submit the following items via email to abarreiro@smu.edu
- One letter of recommendation, preferably from a mathematics professor.
Letters may be sent directly from the individuals who are writing the letters.
- An essay of 250-500 words describing your research interests,
educational interests, and professional plans.
- An academic transcript (unofficial or official)
- Students should indicate which REU she/he is applying for (REU 1, REU 2, Both)
Deadlines
Review of applications will begin on March 26, 2021: later applications will
