Description
Undergraduate students work with faculty mentors on an individual research project focused on some aspect of the computational properties of complex systems. Each student works with one or
more faculty mentors on a specific, mutually selected project. The
project may be based on a suggestion from the SFI mentor, an idea from
the student intern, or a combination of the two. Possible focus areas include adaptive computation; computational
aspects of complexity; energy and information in biological
computation; scaling laws in complex phenomena; network structure and
dynamics; robustness and innovation in biological and social systems;
and the dynamics of human social interactions including state and
market formation, economics as a complex system, and the evolution of
language. Program application deadline is February 7, 2010.
