| IGERT at Univ of IL at Chicago (UIC) | November 24, 2008 |
Prospective engineering, computer science, urban planning and business
students are invited to apply for $30,000 interdisciplinary doctoral
fellowships in computational transportation science (CTS) at the
University of Illinois at Chicago. Visit cts.cs.uic.edu for complete
program details and application information.
As a National Science Foundation-funded Integrative Graduate Education and
Research Traineeship (IGERT), CTS engages students and faculty from
multiple disciplines in collaborative research to solve a broad range of
transportation problems. By taking advantage of ubiquitous computing and
focusing on the information aspects of transportation, CTS researchers can
make an impact on day-to-day transportation. Students interested in any of
the following topics will find interesting applications of their work to
CTS:
Large distributed and mobile systems
Wireless and vehicular networking
Mobile peer-to-peer computing
Sensor fusion
Human-computer interaction
Intelligent transportation systems
Public transportation
Non-motorized transportation and alternative forms of transportation
Regional planning
Transportation systems analysis
Urban travel forecasting
Privacy and information security
Socioeconomic and institutional issues
To be considered for a CTS IGERT fellowship, students must apply to the
PhD program in one of the participating UIC departments. US citizenship or
permanent residency is also required. Please see below for additional
application instructions.
