Mathematical Sciences: Rensselaer-MITRE Graduate Research Assistantship

9508661艾萨克森数学科学中的大学-产业合作研究项目是旨在为学术界和产业界在其职业生涯的不同阶段交流数学科学家的机制而设计的项目。这些计划将加强产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学金为研究生提供了部分时间在课堂上，部分时间在工业环境中的机会。这些奖项是为国家科学努力的未来活力做出贡献的一种手段。两名研究生将在教师和工业科学家的指导下学习非线性动力学、声学地震学和医学层析成像的三个问题。第一个问题是利用混沌理论在存在噪声的情况下检测由非线性机制产生的弱信号的存在。第二个问题是在海底使用声学探测器来提高震源的定位。第三个问题是提高对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.
