The Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) program provides an opportunity for talented undergraduates studying math, computer science, and related disciplines to work in teams on real-world research projects proposed by sponsors from industry or the public sector.
The student team, with support from their academic mentor and industry mentor, will research the problem and present the results, both orally and in writing, at the end of the program.
The REU program is nine weeks. IPAM provides each undergraduate student with a wide range of support and incentives.
Projects
RIPS projects involve serious math and computing. Past projects have involved space mission design, crime modeling, machine learning, weather forecasting, digital image blending, quantum computing, finance, and more!
Eligibility Criteria
- Students who are enrolled in or have just completed an undergraduate (bachelor’s) degree. Recent graduates who have received their degree no earlier than December 2021 may apply for RIPS 2022.
- Students with a strong background in mathematics and an interest in seeing how mathematics is used in the real world are encouraged to apply.
- Most of the projects have a significant computational component, so that proficiency (or at least some experience) in computer science, data analysis or numerical computation is valuable, but not necessary for everyone.
- International students are eligible to apply for RIPS-LA.
