Mathematical Sciences: Rensselaer-MITRE Graduate Research Assistantship

[508661 .艾萨克森数学科学的校企合作研究项目是旨在建立学术界和产业界在其职业生涯不同阶段的数学科学家之间的交流机制的项目。这些项目将加强工业界和学术界之间的联系，并确定和鼓励数学科学研究的新途径。以大学为基础的研究生研究助理奖学金为研究生提供了在课堂上和在工业环境中度过一部分时间的机会。这些奖项是为国家科学事业的未来活力作出贡献的一种手段。两名研究生将在教师和工业科学家的指导下研究非线性动力学、声学地震学和医学断层扫描三个问题。第一个问题是利用混沌理论来检测存在噪声的非线性机制产生的弱信号。第二个问题是利用海底声波探测器来改进震源的定位。第三个问题是提高儿童癫痫发作的定位和预测。

9508661 Isaacson The University-Industry Cooperative Research Programs in the Mathematical Sciences are programs designed to establish a mechanism for exchange of mathematical scientists between academia and industry at different stages of their careers. These programs will strengthen the links between industry and academia and identify and encourage new avenues of research in the mathematical sciences. The University-Based Graduate Research Assistantships provide the opportunity for graduate students to spend part of their time in the classroom and part of their time in an industrial setting. These awards are a means of contributing to the future vitality of the scientific effort of the nation. Three problems in nonlinear dynamics, acoustic seismology and medical tomography will be studied by two graduate students under the supervision of faculty and industrial scientists. The first problem is to use chaos theory to detect the presence of a weak signal generated by a nonlinear mechanism in the presence of noise. The second problem is to use acoustic detectors on the ocean floor to improve the localization of earthquake sources. The third problem is to improve the localization and prediction of epileptic seizures in children.
