and operations
research.
Many projects
are interdisciplinary

studies (data
collection

modeling,
and developing
new methodologies.
Students should directly
contact faculty working
in areas of mutual interest.
After a faculty-student
relationship has been established,
students must write a proposal
and submit an online UROP application by the term's submission deadline.
