Summer Workshop in Computational Science and Bioinformatics
June 30 - July 11, 2003
The Center for Computational Research, UB's supercomputing center, will sponsor an intensive two-week summer workshop in computational science for local high-school students. This year's program will focus on computational biology and bioinformatics. Participating students should have completed their sophomore, junior or senior year, should have taken courses in Chemistry and Biology, and should know some computing; students do not need extensive programming backgrounds. The workshop will provide students with experience in computational bioscience on state-of-the-art computing and visualization hardware. The CCR website contains further information.
Interested students should forward the following information to the Center at the address below:
- High school transcript
- Letter of recommendation from a science teacher
- A 1-2 page report explaining your interest in science and why you wish to participate in the workshop.
Please indicate also any computer and programming experience that you have, and report SAT or PSAT scores if available.
Application materials are due April 25, 2003.
The Workshop will be held in the Center for Computational Research in Norton Hall on UB's Amherst campus. The Center is one of the leading academic supercomputing sites in the United States. The program will begin at 9:30 each morning; and will usually end by 3:30. Lunch will be provided; students should arrange for their own transportation. There will be no class on July 4. On Friday, July 11 students will give presentations for parents, teachers and guests at CCR.
