Summer Internships in Probability and Stochastic Processes

[98605]该计划旨在激励和鼓励青年研究人员在概率和随机过程领域的科学发展。参与者将在威斯康辛州的麦迪逊度过这个夏天，与来自威斯康辛大学的资深研究人员以及资深访客进行日常交流。参与者将受益于访问主要的研究图书馆和大学的其他研究设施，有机会与项目的其他参与者建立持续的联系和合作，并在制定长期研究计划方面获得建议和支持。2001年夏季计划将集中研究随机系统中大小偏差的概率，2002年计划将致力于由空间相互作用产生的形状，波和界面，2003年的重点将涉及空间过程和随机几何。每一个项目的开始都将由美国和国外的专家就特定的重点领域进行调查讲座。每个课程通常计划有三个这样的系列讲座，每个系列由五到八个小时的材料组成。在开幕讲座之后，还会有相关材料的后续讲座，以及参与者、参观者和当地专家的附加讲座。除了讲座之外，实习生计划还寻求在资深教师和参与者之间以及参与者自己之间产生互动。这些互动可以采取学习小组、小组讨论的形式，有时还可以采取一对一的讨论。该项目持续约8周。

0098605Kuelbs The program is designed to stimulate and encourage the scientific development of young researchers in the areas of probability and stochastic processes. The participants will spend the summer together in Madison, Wisconsin in day-to-day interaction with senior researchers from the University of Wisconsin as well as with senior visitors. Participants will benefit from access to the major research library and other research facilities at the University, opportunities to establish continuing contacts and collaboration with other participants in the program, and advice and support in developing long term research programs. The Summer 2001 program will focus on the study of probabilities of both large and small deviations in random systems, in 2002 the program will be devoted to shapes, waves, and interfaces generated by spatial interactions, and in 2003 the focus will involve spatial processes and stochastic geometry. Each of these programs will begin with survey lectures in the given areas of focus by experts from the U.S. and abroad. Three such lecture series are typically planned to begin each program, with each series consisting of five to eight hours of material. After the opening lectures there are follow up lectures on related material, and additional talks by participants, visitors, and local experts. In addition to the lectures, the intern program seeks to generate interactions between senior faculty and participants, as well as those between the participants themselves. These interactions can take the form of study groups, small group discussions, and sometimes one on one discussions. The program lasts about eight weeks.
