The School of Mathematics at Georgia Tech has a rich tradition for undergraduate research. The projects have been mentored by many different faculty, on topics ranging from fad formation, to random walks, tropical geometry, one bit sensing, extremal graph theory, and convex polyhedra. Our students have published many papers, have won a number of awards, and have been very successful in their graduate school applications. For a sample of the past projects please see below.
In Summer 2019 there will be several research opportunities available for undergraduates (to be announced).
To complement the research projects, the School of Mathematics will also hold professional development sessions on relevant topics, such as:
- How to create and present a poster
- What is graduate school like?
- Applying to graduate school
Undergraduate researchers will also have access to poster sessions and other activities sponsored by the College of Sciences.
The typical research project lasts approximately 8 weeks, in June and July, although the exact timing is negotiable and can be worked out between students and their mentors. There will be a summer stipend, and there is affordable housing available on campus. More details can be found at the FAQ page.
How to Apply Online
Interested students should apply here. The deadline for applications will be February 28th, 2019. Decisions will be announced by March 31, 2019. If you have any questions about the program, or about undergraduate research in general, please contact Igor Belegradek or Dan Margalit.
