The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $417,188 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program to the University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research. This 3-year award, commencing on May 1, 2024, supports a renewed Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site focused on computationally intensive research in astronomy and astrophysics.
The program provides hands-on research opportunities for undergraduate students, leveraging UF's advanced supercomputing capabilities and the newly established Informatics Institute. Students will work on projects such as cosmological simulations, analysis of microwave background observations, and gravitational wave data modeling. In addition to gaining technical skills in programming and high-performance computing, participants will prepare for diverse STEM careers. The REU site aims to recruit students nationally, with a focus on providing research experiences to those from regions with limited opportunities.
