The USC Information Sciences Institute is excited to announce our ongoing Research Experience of Undergrdauates (REU) Program. It focuses on createing a Safe, Usable, Reliable and Fair Internet. ISI's REU program has been active since 2018 and has supported 35 undergraduate students from the U.S. In a number of cases they have seen their work published in peer-reviewed venues. We are grateful to NSF CISE for their generous support of this program via awards #1659886 and #2051101.

To apply, students must meet the following criteria at the time of application:
