June 6th - August 5th, 2016*
Los Alamos National Laboratory
*Late arriving students on quarter system will be accommodated
Purpose: To focus a select group of upper-level undergraduate students and first year graduate students developing multi-disciplinary dynamic engineering system solutions to Los Alamos National Lab (LANL) mission relevant problems.
Focus areas: Students will learn about research in multi-disciplinary, dynamic engineering systems through tutorials and guest lectures, tours, and research projects.
1. Tutorials and Guest Lectures: Weekly tutorials and lectures with world class experts on various aspects of dynamic engineering systems (signal processing, system identification, embedded systems, model validation, nonlinear systems, and machine learning).
2. Projects: 3 person multi-disciplinary teams conduct research projects in an intense 9-week time frame. The goal is for the students to document and present their results at a professional conference. The 2016 Summer School students will present their research results at IMAC XXXV in Garden Grove, CA.
3. Fellowship amounts range from $7000 to $10,500, depending on academic status and the point of origin for the student’s travel to Los Alamos.
4. This program is limited to US citizens.
