The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Emory University a 3-year, $455,000 Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The REU Site, titled "Computational Mathematics for Data Science," will provide research training for 12 undergraduate students each summer in areas such as machine learning, optimization, and computational methods. Faculty from Emory's Mathematics and Computer Science departments will supervise and mentor the students, who will engage in projects at the interface of computational mathematics and data science. The program aims to motivate undergraduates, especially those from underrepresented groups, to pursue graduate degrees and careers in academia and industry related to data science and computational mathematics. Student research outputs will include publications, open-source software, and online blogs to disseminate new insights to the scientific community.
