Conference: Multiscale and Stochastic Modeling, Analysis, and Computation; October 2008, East Lansing, MI

该奖项支持2008年10月10日至11日在密歇根州立大学举行的多尺度和随机建模、分析和计算研讨会。会议重点讨论了两个相关主题：多尺度建模和分析在开发用于能源转换应用的纳米结构材料方面的应用，以及将随机方法融入多尺度和细胞过程的建模和分析。研讨会旨在提供一个论坛，交流观点，确定核心问题，并促进对纳米材料和细胞反应网络感兴趣的应用数学家、物理学家和生物学家之间的合作研究。通过将这两个领域合并为一个研讨会，并通过穿插理论和应用演讲，该计划旨在促进具有不同学科背景的科学家之间的互惠互利。与该研讨会相关的合作研究可能会推动能源技术、蜂窝网络和纳米结构材料领域的重要进步。研讨会鼓励和支持学生、博士后和初级教师的广泛参与，特别是妇女、代表性不足的少数民族和残疾人。研讨会网页：http://www.math.msu.edu/%7Erichardl/workshop/index.html

This award supports the Workshop on Multiscale and Stochastic Modeling, Analysis, and Computation, held at Michigan State University on 10-11 October 2008. The meeting focuses on two related topics: the application of multi-scale modeling and analysis to the development of nano-structured materials for energy conversion applications, and the integration of stochastic methods into the modeling and analysis of multi-scale and cellular processes. The workshop aims to provide a forum to exchange viewpoints, identify core issues, and promote collaborative research among applied mathematicians, physicists, and biologists who are interested in nano-scale materials and cellular reacting networks. By combining the two areas into a single workshop and by interspersing theoretical and applied talks, the program is designed to catalyze cross-fertilization between scientists with the various disciplinary backgrounds.Collaborative research initiated in connection with this workshop may spur important advances in the areas of energy technology, cellular networks, and nano-structured materials. The workshop encourages and supports broad participation by students, postdocs, and junior faculty, especially women, under-represented minorities, and people with disabilities.Workshop web page: http://www.math.msu.edu/%7Erichardl/workshop/index.html
