Cutting-edge computational research • World-class mentors • 10-week research program • Stipend and travel allowance • Housing included
Apply NowThe LSU Center for Computation & Technology (CCT) is an interdisciplinary research center that advances computational and data-enabled science across campus. CCT faculty hold joint appointments in departments spanning the sciences, engineering, and humanities. Together, they provide high-performance computing resources, specialized technical expertise, and collaborative opportunities for cutting-edge research in fields such as artificial intelligence, astrophysics, coastal modeling, computational biology, computational chemistry, cybersecurity, digital media, materials science, and quantum computing.
Spend ten intensive weeks working directly with nationally recognized leaders in computational science and high-performance computing—faculty who are shaping the future of AI, quantum computing, quantum materials, computational biology and chemistry, gravitation and astrophysics, and beyond.
You’ll tackle cutting-edge research projects using state-of-the-art supercomputers and advanced computational tools. A significant number of participants produce publishable research outcomes, and many of our alumni go on to prestigious graduate programs or secure research positions at national laboratories and leading technology companies.
Beyond the science, you’ll build a lifelong professional network: collaborate daily with LSU faculty, graduate-student mentors, and a talented cohort of peers from across the country. These relationships frequently lead to strong letters of recommendation, graduate-school acceptances, and future career opportunities.
$7000 stipend • Free on-campus housing • Travel allowance • Weekly professional-development workshops • Social events in Baton Rouge and New Orleans
