MSRI-UP (Mathematical Sciences Research Institute Undergraduate Program) is a comprehensive program for undergraduates that aims at increasing the number of students from underrepresented groups in mathematics graduate programs. MSRI-UP includes summer research opportunities, mentoring, workshops on the graduate school application process, and follow-up support.

MSRI Undergraduate Program

MSRI-UP will:

  • Train undergraduates in mathematical research through a six-week summer program from June 17 - July 29 at MSRI in Berkeley, CA
  • Provide participating students opportunities to present their research at national conferences in the year following the summer program
  • Introduce participating students to a network of mentors through national societies known for their mentoring activities and professional support for students
  • Guide students in the process of applying to graduate programs and fellowships

Twelve students will participate in research on Computational Mathematics led by Dr. Juan Meza from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory For further information, see the MSRI-UP description.

Research Projects

The Research Projects for MSRI-UP consist of mathematics problems derived from various computational sciences problems at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory including applications in nanoscience, cosmology, and particle physics.
