TREND REU Program
ApplyTREND is a 10-week undergrad summer research program in nonlinear dynamics at UMD, funded by the NSF (award PHY1756179).
Projects are computational, experimental, theoretical, or a combination of these. Topics include
2D materials | biophysics | chaos | lasers | mathematical biology | nanodevices | neural networks | optoelectronics | particle physics/particle rings | plasma reconnection | robotics | turbulence
2021 program dates are May 31 to August 6. Application deadline is February 12.
Learn below about mentors, projects, program activities, and how to apply.
Want to talk? We're happy to schedule a one-on-one virtual meeting:
