*****************************************************************************
CCT REU: Interdisciplinary Research Experience in Computational Sciences
http://reu.cct.lsu.edu/
*****************************************************************************

The Center for Computation & Technology (CCT) will host a ten week Research 
Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program where students work 
collaboratively on a wide variety of computational science projects. Each 
student receives a stipend of $6,000, free housing in university dormitories, 
and up to $600 in travel expenses to and from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ten 
students will be selected.

Qualifications:
Undergraduate, community college student, or high school senior attending 
college in the fall, interested in a major that is within the computational 
sciences umbrella (leaves out few majors as it includes all sciences, 
mathematics, engineering, finance, statistics, etc.) with at least a 2.75 GPA, 
considering a career in research and/or graduate school in your major, being a 
US citizen or permanent resident, and graduating at least one semester after 
completion of the REU.

Important Dates:
     February 28, 2022: Application deadline.
     March 20, 2022: Notification of decision.
     May 23, 2022 through July 30, 2022: Program dates.

The research activities of the CCT are organized into five Focus Areas: Core 
Computing Sciences, Coast to Cosmos, Material World, Cultural Computing, and 
System Science and Engineering. These are broad, and sometimes overlapping 
areas where faculty from diverse departments (Mathematics, Computer Science, 
Physics, Civil Engineering, Oceanography and Coastal Sciences, Petroleum 
Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computing Engineering, 
Music, Business, etc.) collaborate in multidisciplinary projects. Our REU 
students learn how to use some of the nation's largest supercomputers, may 
participate in the setup and management of large-scale simulations, and may 
take on an important role in the analysis and visualization of the simulation 
results.
