This page provides a listing of positions that are
under review for the next iteration of the program, as well as those that have been approved for current and
previous iterations of the program. As part of the review and approval process, accepted student
applicants are associated with an approved position.
If you are intending to mentor a student, you should create a position. If you also have a student
in mind with whom you want to work, that student should submit an application. If you intend to
mentor multiple students, please create a separate position for each student.
These research assistants or 'learners' will prepare for later work with mathematics, computer science and physics faculty in molecular dynamics simulations, as well as sonification and visualization of scientific data.
The student intern will assist mathematics, computer science and physics faculty in molecular dynamics simulations, as well as sonification/visualization and acoustic metric analyses of sound waves in hexagonal and fcc lattices. LAMMPS, ParaView and C code development and testing will occur on a local Linux cluster before large-scale production runs on NCSA's Blue Waters for the 2017-18 education allocation "HPC Monte Carlo Simulations-Analysis for Physics & Econometrics."
