We are excited to continue the Summer REU Site under the NSF Grant titled “Advancing high-performance computing opportunities in undergraduate research at UW-Eau Claire to meet challenges of multidisciplinary computational science” in 2024. This REU site hosted 10 undergraduate students for a 10-week summer program for three summers (2022-2024).

The Summer 2024 program took place from June 3 to August 9, 2024. Applications were due March 1, 2024.

Be part of fascinating research projects

The REU site at UWEC provided a comprehensive research experience in high-performance computing and its importance in several research domains. Students will get an opportunity to conduct research in any of the research domains mentioned below:

• Computer science: Machine learning and deep learning and computer vision 
• Chemistry and biochemistry: quantum chemical simulation and multiscale modeling 
• Geography and anthropology: UAV-based vegetation mapping with GIS 
• Materials science and biomedical engineering: computer simulation of electrode materials and Infrared spectroscopic tissue imaging
• Physics: Computational astrophysical study of stellar structure and evolution

Experience STEM at UW-Eau Claire

To inspire a diverse group of students to pursue a career in STEM, the REU program will include the following additional events:

• Workshops related to high-performance computing, computational science, ethics and responsible conduct of research, and laboratory safety.
• Seminars in topics such as undergraduate research, scientific writing, career planning and diversity.
• Guest speaker presentations and field trips.
• Social events.

Participants in this REU program will receive a stipend ($6,000). Food and housing will be provided by UW Eau Claire Housing, and there is no cost to the participants. All field trips will be arranged for the student participants.
