Purpose: To focus a select group of upper-level undergraduate students and first year graduate students on
the multi-disciplinary field of cyber-physical dynamic systems.
Focus areas: Students will learn about research in cyber-physical systems through tutorials and guest
lectures, tours, and research projects.
1. Tutorials and Guest Lectures: Weekly tutorials and lectures with world class experts on various aspects of
cyber-physical systems (signal processing, dynamic systems, system identification, embedded systems, model
validation, nonlinear systems, and machine learning).
2. Projects: 3 person multi-disciplinary teams conduct research projects in an intense 9 week time frame. The
goal is for the students to document and present their results at a professional conference. The 2014 Summer
School students will present their research results at IMAC XXXIII.
3. Fellowship amounts range from $7000 to$10,500, depending on academic status and the point of origin
for the students travel to Los Alamos.
4. This program is limited to US citizens.
How to Apply:
Students should send an email with the following documents to ladss@[Link]:
1. Resume
2. 1-page cover letter describing their interest in this summer school and multi-disciplinary cyber-physical
dynamic systems research as well as your near term (1-3 year) academic and professional goals
3. Official transcripts (a copy is fine for application purposes, but the original will be needed prior to the start of
the summer school)
4. At least one letter of recommendation
Applications must be received by Dec. 5, 2014.
