Summer Internships in Probability and Stochastic Processes

该计划旨在刺激和鼓励年轻研究人员在概率和随机过程领域的科学发展。参与者将在威斯康星州的麦迪逊度过夏天，与威斯康星大学的高级研究人员以及资深访客进行日常互动。参与者将受益于访问该大学的主要研究图书馆和其他研究设施，有机会与该计划的其他参与者建立持续联系和合作，以及在制定长期研究计划方面提供建议和支持。2001年夏季计划将重点研究随机系统中大偏差和小偏差的概率，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年重点将涉及空间过程和随机几何。每个项目都将从来自美国和海外的专家在特定重点领域的调查讲座开始。每个节目通常计划开始三个这样的讲座系列，每个系列由五到八个小时的材料组成。在开幕讲座之后，将有相关材料的后续讲座，以及参与者、参观者和当地专家的额外演讲。除了讲课，实习生项目还寻求在资深教员和参与者之间以及参与者之间产生互动。这些互动可以采取学习小组、小组讨论的形式，有时也可以一对一的讨论。该项目为期约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.
