StemForAll2025 Continuations Projects dates: this program
runs continuously
StemForAll2026 program dates: July 27, 2026 - August 7, 2026
Introduction: Welcome to StemforAll2025 Continuation
Projects, which will smoothly roll into StemForAll2026 summer
workshop. All the interested Rochester area students are welcome to
participate. The registration process is only used to assign the
students to suitable projects. The main idea behind the workshop is
to share the research we are doing with undergraduate students for
the purpose of familiarizing them with research methods and
techniques. Quite often research papers result from these
discussions, but the main emphasis is on learning and the creative
process. In 2026, the program in Rochester will be organized by Alex
Iosevich (UR), Steven Kleene (UR). and Azita Mayeli
(CUNY).
Program instructors: Gabe Hart, Alex Iosevich, Steven
Kleene, Azita Mayeli, Svetlana Pack, Curt Signorino (more names
coming soon)
History of the program: StemForAll has been running at the
University of Rochester since 2018. In one form or another this
program has existed at the University of Rochester and University of
Missouri since 2001. Many of its participant have since obtained
Ph.Ds in mathematics and related fields and have become successful
researchers. The links to the previous programs, including
StemForAll2025 can be found here.
Expansion: The StemForAll program will be expanding in 2026.
In addition to the annual program we have been running in the
Rochester area for several years, analogous programs are going to
run at the following institutions:
Missouri State University (Steven Senger)
Virgina Tech (Eyvindur Palsson)
Ohio State University (Krystal Taylor)
The StemForAll Team consists mathematicians who have committed to
running a two-week StemForAll undergraduate research program at
their home institutions during Summer 2025. The members of the team
are going to create a joint database of research problems and other
research materials, and share those with all the other affiliates.
Rochester StemForAll location and time: StemForAll2025 in the
Rochester area is going to take place in July/August 2026 in the
Hylan Building on the University of Rochester campus.
Structure of the workshop: StemForAll2026 is going to consist
of a wide variety of projects, listed below, involving the
interaction of pure and applied mathematics, statistics, physics and
data science. Many of the projects are strongly related, which
should lead to a considerable amount of interaction. We are going to
have a blast!
