NSF REU in Physics and Artificial Intelligence
May 28 - July 20, 2024
The NSF REU in Physics and Artificial Intelligence at the NSF AI Planning Institute is an eight-week, fully funded opportunity for undergraduate students to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and physics. Students can work on projects applying AI to physics problems ranging from the smallest subatomic scales to the largest cosmological scales. Examples of projects include analyzing galaxies from the Dark Energy Survey, hunting for the Higgs Boson at the Large Hadron Collider, and learning the laws of cellular biophysics by using machine learning.
NSF REU students will receive mentorship from a graduate student, a postdoc and a faculty member. They will have an active social environment that will include current graduate students from biological sciences, chemistry, mathematical sciences and physics. Additionally, students will have outings to local Pittsburgh events and landmarks.
This is a fully funded program. Students will receive a generous stipend during their time in the program, and expenses such as travel and accommodation will be paid.
