Vertical
Integration of Research
This page is dedicated to an ongoing project at the University of
Rochester to integrate research activities involving undergraduate
and graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and faculty in a
unified laboratory setting. The fundamental idea behind this project
is to create a research environment where graduate student,
undergraduate students and postdoctoral researchers are integrated
into a common structure where ideas are shared, research projects
are created, and a constant effort is made to integrate the research
direction in a seamless symbiosis.
The program is also going to have a high school component. We are
going to train advanced local high school students to think about
problems in elementary mathematics from a broader point of view. We
are going to create research projects for them that are going to
slowly increase in technical difficulty and sophistication,
ultimately leading to work on open problems.
