Our program will run from approximately the last week of May through the last week of July (dates tentative, pending UF Housing arrangements).   Students will work on a diverse range of projects in Astrophysics, with a particular slant toward computationally and data-intensive projects.   Areas of research include, but are not limited to:

​

• Galaxy formation and evolution
• Cosmology and large scale structure
• Exoplanets
• Star formation in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies
• The first stars
• Compact objects, and LIGO Electromagnetic counterparts
• The interstellar medium
• Our program includes a stipend of $6000 for a 10 week Summer, as well as housing on the UF campus.  Students will reside in UF dorms, and will be invited to participate in both professional development activities (i.e. orientation/onboarding;  GRE prep course work; scientific presentation development), as well as social activities.
