Description
The EPIC summer program will introduce students to research at the intersection of physics,ย scientific software, and computing. Participants will work with mentors on a focused project connected to modernย experimental physics workflows, gaining experience with data analysis, reproducible research, and collaborativeย problem-solving. The program is intended to provide an accessibleย entry point for students who may not yet have prior research experience.
Participants should expect to:
- Attend an introductory orientation covering the scientific context, project goals, and computing environment
- Complete guided tutorials in Python, data analysis, version control, and research documentation
- Work on a defined EPIC research or software task with regular mentor support
- Participate in daily meetings to discuss progress, troubleshoot issues, and learn about related career paths
- Maintain a short project log and prepare a final presentation or poster summarizing their work
