Algorithmic Combinatorics on Words (Research Experiences for Undergraduates)
by
Francine Blanchet-Sadri
University of North Carolina, Greensboro, USA

In this talk, I will discuss some research projects related to my Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program entitled Algorithmic Combinatorics on Words supported by the National Science Foundation. This program involves students in research at the crossroads between Mathematics and Computer Science. Words, or strings over a finite alphabet, are natural objects in several research areas including group theory, number theory, automata theory and formal language theory, coding theory, and theory of algorithms. The University of North Carolina at Greensboro provides unique opportunities for summer research for eight students per year for an eight-week period each year through this program.
