Students and researchers participating in the summer school will be working in groups on assigned research projects. Groups will be formed and assigned a research project at the start of the summer school. Each group will consist of 4-5 participants with a diverse background in training (mathematics, statistics, computer science, epidemiology, and public health). At the end of the summer school, each group will give a presentation of their research project.
Group projects are designed to provide participants with hands-on research experience, and an opportunity for research collaboration in an interdisciplinary environment.
