Training for
Undergraduates Program
- Director: Alvaro Pelayo
- Co-directors: Ronald Freiwald and Blake Thornton
This is a research program for undergraduate students of Washington University in St Louis which I developed in collaboration with some of my colleagues. The program is financially supported by my NSF CAREER Award.

Some key aspects of Washington University ARTU Program:
- The goal of is to introduce and train undergraduate students to
do research in mathematics, and in closely related disciplines
- Students in the program are supervised on projects over
a period of several semesters by faculty members based at Washington University
- The program offers financial support to
students, and to faculty supervisors, comparable to those offered by REU Programs
