2022 American Physical Society (APS) March Meeting | Group on Data Science (GDS) | APS GDS Course page

This short course will cover the current state-of-the-art approaches for tensor-based linear modeling and space-kime analytics. Instructors will present a generalized framework for modeling and prediction of scalar, matrix, or tensor outcomes from observed tensor inputs. Additional demonstrations will include complex-time (kime) representation of longitudinal data, where the temporal event order is generalized to the (unordered) complex plane. This generalization transformed classical time-series to 2D kime-surfaces. Various biomedical and health applications will be showcased.

• Short-Course Title: Longitudinal Data Tensor-Linear Modeling and Space-kime Analytics

• Event Date/Time: March 13, 2022, 9:00 – 17:00 (US Central Time)
• Format: Online (distance-based, virtual). Instruction will involve a blend of theoretical foundations, computational implementations, and data-driven applications
• Audience: Prerequisites: prior knowledge of college level math, physics, and statistics

• Registration: preregistration is required for participation (space is capped to 30)
• Registration Fees: Students $80,post−docs/fellows $120, regular $150
• Need-based Fee Waivers: APS Data Science Group (GDS) will select and cover the registration fee for up to 5 students and trainees. Interested trainees need to complete this additional fee-waiver request form justifying their need for a waiver. There are no guarantees for waivers, but the organizers are committed to increase trainee participation from traditionally STEM-underrepresented communities.

The Healthcare Improvement and Innovation in Quality (THINQ) Collaborative is a group of undergraduate and graduate students working with physicians at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center to conduct clinical research and make proposals for the betterment of care quality.

Our program involves research, physician shadowing experience, speaker events from individuals in various healthcare fields, as well as discussions about diverse topics in the healthcare industry that affect patients and physicians. We shadow patient rounds, collect data, present research, and review papers on healthcare in order to propose solutions.

We have had previous opportunities to present at several national undergraduate research conferences and submit manuscripts to undergraduate research journals. Additionally, we offer mentorship, leadership and professional development, and the opportunity to view medicine through an intersectional perspective.

We are currently recruiting members of all years and majors for our THINQ 2022 Summer Internship that will later transition into a year-long research fellowship. Applications will be due on FRIDAY, APRIL 1 at 11:59 p.m. PST. Applications open on March 7 at 7 p.m. and will be available here: https://www.thinq.med.ucla.edu/index.php/get-involved.

The Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) is excited to share its Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) summer research opportunities for summer 2022!

In this program, students work in teams on projects that are sponsored by an industrial partner. The projects cover a wide range of real-world topics, including big data, optimization, transportation, quantum computing, and bio-tech. We offer two locations for the RIPS 2022 program: RIPS-LA (UCLA campus) and RIPS-Singapore. This year, we expect to hold both programs in-person. However, depending on the nature of the pandemic, we may have to make adjustments by the time the program starts.

Application period for these programs will close soon on February 14, 2022. Please visit the respective webpages for more information and a link to the application:

RIPS-LA: June 21 – August 19, 2022 | Click for flyer
RIPS-Singapore: May 30 – July 29, 2022 | Click for flyer

The summer research programs for graduate students, Graduate-Level Research in Industrial Projects for Students (G-RIPS), will be closing Friday, March 4, 2022. Visit here for more details.
