Next-Generation Algorithms for Scientific Discovery

This project is ongoing.

Join our research team in benchmarking a new family of information criteria designed to extract interpretable mathematical equations from data. This cutting-edge project has profound implications for scientific discovery, engineering control systems, and numerous other applications. We're seeking an undergraduate with a strong quantitative background (mathematics, physics, computer science, or engineering) who is proficient in the Julia programming language. You'll work closely with a graduate student mentor and commit at least 10 hours per week to the project. Benefits include experience with advanced computational methods, specialized programming skills, potential research publication authorship, and valuable mentorship. To apply, please send your resume, unofficial transcript or list core course grades, and relevant coursework/experience with "Equation Discovery RA Position" in the subject line.

Qualifications

a strong quantitative background (mathematics, physics, computer science, or engineering) who is proficient in the Julia programming language.

Project Timeline

3-6 months

Duties

Modifying existing Julia codes to systematically benchmark a new data-driven model discovery algorithm.

Typical Time Commitment
10
Desired Length of Commitment
2 or more semesters

I'M INTERESTED IN THIS PROJECT. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

The Office of Undergraduate Research recommends that you attend an info session or advising before contacting faculty members or project contacts about research opportunities. We'll cover the steps to get involved, tips for contacting faculty, funding possibilities, and options for course credit. Once you have attended an Office of Undergraduate Research info session or spoken to an advisor, you can use the "Who to contact" details for this project to get in touch with the project leader and express your interest in getting involved.
