Hello everyone

I have some very exciting news to share for the Julia Community! After discussion with Northeastern University, I am pleased to share that we have the opportunity to bring in Julia-related projects into the graduate mathematics curriculum in Northeastern University’s Mathematics Department!

What this means is that folks within the Julia community can develop research projects that can be mentored by you and explored by student teams. Here are some of the classes offered at Northeastern University where these projects could take place:

MATH7243: Machine Learning and Statistical Learning Theory 1 - Introduces both the mathematical and statistical theory of learning and the implementation of modern machinelearning algorithms appropriate for data science.

MATH 7339: Machine Learning and Statistical Learning Theory 2 - Continues Math 7243. The course further covers theory and methods for regression and classification, along with other advanced topics in machine learning, statistics and deep learning.

MATH 5110: Applied Linear Algebra and Matrix Analysis - This course provides a rigorous treatment of the concepts and computational techniques of linear algebra.

Any potential projects will mostly be brought in through Northeastern University’s Experiential Network Program. In general, the projects we are looking for fit the following description:

These short-term projects help students apply their skills to solve problems with real parameters and constraints that deliver real value to project sponsors. Students complete projects remotely and typically work 30-40 hours on a project over approximately six weeks. Projects are scoped and evaluated by sponsors with assistance from the XN staff, who provide the administrative and operational support for the academic programs and the student participants.

To see an example of two project proposals and what is needed, click below:
Project 1: Brain image segmentation (click for more details) Project 2: Oncology Targets and Biology (click for more details)
At this time, I am soliciting potential interest in projects for the Fall 2024 semester. We are particularly interested in potential projects related to health, biology, and climate research and a priority on projects that use Python and/or Julia! Any of these projects could be used as the foundation for future research, publication, or demonstration purposes.

Feel free to reach out to me here in the comments, at my email at jacobszelko@gmail.com, or on Slack @TheCedarPrince.

Thanks everyone!

P.S. We will be discussing additional details and questions about this at the upcoming monthly JuliaHealth meeting – I would highly advise coming through if you are interested as I will be discussing additional potential project ideas and available to answer any questions!
