How to Apply

Each year approximately five research awards are made to students enrolled in the CSE program. Research projects are selected for support on a competitive basis. Proposals are solicited each Spring for the academic year beginning the following Fall. The proposed research must be interdisciplinary and computationally oriented, and the proposal must be submitted jointly by the student and two faculty co-advisors who must be CSE affiliates from different disciplines (Note: The faculty can be from the same department as long as their disciplines are different). The CSE Fellows selected by an evaluation panel receive financial support in form of a 50% research assistantship in their home department plus a tuition waiver. During the academic year, that year’s CSE Fellows present their research results during a CSE Seminar. Current CSE Fellows are listed below and past fellows are listed by academic year.
