UROP

The Mathematics Department has hosted a wide diversity of Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) experiences. Every year the Department hosts around 70 different UROP projects.

Here are some recent titles:

  • "Modeling Droplet Dispersion to understand Disease transmission"
  • "Problems in Combinatorial Algebra"
  • "Quantum Groups and Hecke Algebras"
  • "Computationally-feasible Statistical Method to Account for the Fixed Ratio of Two Signals"
  • "Tetrahedral Numbers and Pollock's Conjecture"
  • "Phantom Traffic Jams"
  • "Modular Representations of Cherednik Algebras"
  • "Fluid Analogs of Quantum Systems and Madelung Transformations"
  • "Combinatorics of the Bruhat Order"
  • "Eigenvalues and Eigenfunctions of the Laplacian and Schrodinger Operators"

Faculty UROP Coordinators:

  • Prof. Mark Behrens (Pure)
  • Prof. Steven Johnson (Applied)

More of these projects arose from conversations between the student and the advisor than as a project or idea proposed by the advisor. In almost every case the project represents individual research carried out by the student under the guidance of the advisor.

For information, please contact Anna Ferrigno at the MAS (2-108) or visit the MIT UROP website.
