Research Experience for Undergraduates in Applied Math and Modeling

Welcome to the Applied Math and Modeling REU site at UHD

Students will be modeling biological processes and solid mechanical structures based on experimental measurements using analytic and computational mathematical techniques.  The research projects are collaborations between Mathematics and Natural Sciences departments at UHD and the Civil Engineering department of the University of Houston. The program will be offered annually starting in 2017, and run for 8 weeks each summer (June 3 - July 26 in 2019). Please tour this website for more information about our program!  We welcome inquiries at any time from prospective students who are interested in participating in the program.  The research projects are interdisciplinary and involve mathematical modeling in the mechanics of solids and biology. The students in each team and their mentors will collaborate on a complete research cycle: running experiments, processing the data, building and parametrizing models, and exploring them through numerical simulations and theoretical analysis. The deadline for new applications is February 15 for each year of the program (deadline extended to March 3). For further information, please contact us by email at  reumod@uhd.edu  or contact one of the program mentors personally using the information below.
