Undergraduate Research Projects
During the academic year following the workshop, 6-8 advanced UNM undergraduate participants will undertake research projects that will lead to an honors thesis.

The students are encouraged to work in groups of two with a faculty member of the department. They will spend most of the fall semester learning the necessary project-specific background, and then spend the spring working on their project. In the following summer they will complete their research, write a thesis, and possibly prepare a corresponding paper for publication.

They will present their work at undergraduate student conferences and in some cases in professional journals. The students will be funded by the grant through the year.

Here there is a list of proposed projects:

Nonlinear Optics in Photonic Micro and Nanostructures.[Details]
Calculus in the ring of integers [Details]
Topology and Singularities of Weighted Homogeneous Hypersurfaces [Details]
Applied Dynamical Systems [Details]
Algebraic Curves [Details]
Simulating piezoelectrically driven synthetic jets [Details]
Discrete and dyadic harmonic analysis [Details]
Investigation of Fluid Cavitation [Details]
