"My personal profile along with an
important help of my last summer RIPS participation allowed me to choose
from the best job offers in Czech Republic and even abroad. I have
finally decided to start working for Mintel in London, England. I am
also waiting for results from WSU, Rensselaer, MIT, and Stanford where I
have applied to graduate study."

"It (RIPS 2004) was a great learning
experience. Not only did I learn about nonlinear dynamical system, which
I knew nothing about before the program but am now considering for
graduate studies. I also made lots of good friends from around the world
(there are very few REU programs in which one gets to interact with
students from foreign institutions). There were also lots of emphasis on
how to efficiently pace the work, how to communicate technical contents
effectively via writing and presentations. From my 3 years of REU
experience (first two at Princeton) this is the most well-organized
program I've participated."
"At IPAM I was exposed to a new field
of mathematics: image processing, while I was working on my project
offered by Los Alamos National Lab. I was not decided on a specific
research interest, so I could freely devote myself to that area of
mathematics. After RIPS I became very interested in image processing
problems and this year I will participate in a summer program at LANL
and I will do research in image/high-dimensional data analysis."

"IPAM not only showed me how
interesting fluid mechanics are but also opened my eyes to the kinds of
things which were possible and currently happening around the world. For
this I am truly grateful as not only was my stay one of the most
enjoyable events in my life it also has shaped my view on life."
