ACES Training Program
Advanced Computation
in Engineering and Science
The ACES program
at Boston
University integrates multidisciplinary
training in computational science with established
doctoral programs. ACES trainees will earn a
Certificate
in Computational Science by
completing additional requirements, gain access
to state of the art supercomputing and visualization
facilities and pursue opportunities for internships
at government laboratories, industrial research
centers of foreign supercomputer centers.
Applying for Admission
to the ACES Program
A student requesting admission
to the ACES program should present a regular
application to or already be enrolled in the
Ph.D. program of one of the participating
departments. In addition the
student should send a letter addressed to Professor
Claudio
Rebbi, Director,
Center for Computational Science, stating the
following:
1. Why you wish to be considered
for the ACES program, including a summary description
of your background and your motivation for pursuing
computational science.
2. Which department's Ph.D. program
you have applied to (or have been admitted to).
3. Your commitment to fulfilling
the requirements
of the ACES program.
4. Whether you are also applying
for support through an ACES traineeship, which
is funded through the NSF's
IGERT program. (Please note
that in order to be considered for funding through
this NSF program you must be either a U.S. citizen
or a resident alien, and state so in the letter.)
Please send this letter to the
attention of Ilona
Lappo, Assistant Director,
Center for Computational Science, Boston University,
3 Cummington Street, Boston, MA 02215
NSF Funded Fellowships
Fellowship opportunities for the
ACES program are supported by funding from the
National
Science Foundation's IGERT Program.
IGERT fellowships are open to U.S. citizens
and permanent resident aliens who gain admission
to the Ph.D. program of one of the nine participating
departments, and who are accepted into the ACES
program. Successful candidates will receive
full tuition and fees, a generous stipend and
travel funds to internships and conferences.
