You’re in the right place! If you’re an undergraduate student with a strong interest in mathematics and its applications, there are several ways to get involved and prepare for future research:

●      Take Advanced Courses
Enroll in upper-level applied mathematics courses to build a solid foundation in theory and computation. Course list.

●      Join Research Projects
Many faculty members welcome motivated undergraduates to join their research groups, typically in the framework of a projects course.  This is a great way to gain hands-on experience,  explore different fields: Open projects

●      Participate in Summer Programs
Look out for summer research opportunities and internships at the Technion and beyond. These programs offer immersive experiences in real research environments.

●      Take the expository course and connect with Mentors
Reach out to faculty members whose work interests you. A short conversation can open doors to exciting opportunities. For Example the course “Selected topics in applied Mathematics” (1980014)

Curiosity and initiative are your best tools—start exploring now and you’ll be well-prepared to join the program when the time comes!

Collaborations at the frontier of science

The program is built upon close collaborations with leading researchers across the Technion campus. Students are invited to take part in cutting-edge interdisciplinary projects that integrate advanced mathematical methodologies to address global challenges in science and technology.

Participants benefit from prestigious scholarships and may also serve as teaching fellows in the Faculty of Mathematics. The academic environment is rigorous yet supportive, providing students with the tools to succeed in future careers in academia, research, and high-tech industry.

As a graduate student in the applied mathematics program, I acquired tools for constructing theoretical models of complex biological phenomena, such as the computational processes underlying brain function. The elegance of the mathematical language has the potential to abstractify complexity, thus enabling deep insights and the identification of universal principles
