This proposal supports student involvement and attendance at the 2009 SIAM/ACM Joint Conference on Geometric and Physical Modeling. This four day event draws between 200?300 attendees across a broad set of interdisciplinary academic areas including mathematics (geometry, topology, numerical methods, optimization), engineering (design, modeling, simulation) and computer science (graphics, computational geometry). The meeting is a unique, multi-disciplinary event. Whereas most scientific meetings in the above areas are ?stove-piped? by the individual disciplines, the SIAM Activity Group on Geometric Design and the ACM Symposium on Solid and Physical Modeling have an over 30 year history of spanning disciplines. The above event is bringing together scientists and engineers, both from academia and industry, around the themes of geometry and topology and their role in product design, manufacturing, simulation and other applications.The intellectual merit of the proposed activity lies in the educational opportunities and the shared research objectives of the community. By providing travel grants for students studying in these areas, the NSF encourages the students to pursue interdisciplinary work and enhance their academic experiences. Secondarily, the academic subjects covered by this meeting are of vital importance in many areas of critical national need. Work presented at this meeting covers diverse topics ranging from biomedical CAD and biomanufacturing to sustainable design and optimization of next generation materials. The broader impact is found in developing the careers of the student supported by these travel grants and their work in these areas of critical national need. Given the central role geometry and topology play in everything from product design to virtual training systems to advanced manufacturing technology, the proper nurturing of these activities?especially those of an interdisciplinary nature?is vital to producing scientists and engineers who can meet the nation?s needs.

该提案支持学生参与和出席2009年SIAM/ACM几何和物理建模联合会议。这四天的活动吸引了200？300名与会者跨越广泛的跨学科学术领域，包括数学（几何，拓扑，数值方法，优化），工程（设计，建模，仿真）和计算机科学（图形，计算几何）。这次会议是一次独特的、多学科的活动。而上述领域的大多数科学会议是？烟囱？从各个学科来看，SIAM几何设计活动组和ACM实体与物理建模研讨会已经有30多年的跨学科历史。上述活动汇集了来自学术界和工业界的科学家和工程师，围绕几何和拓扑及其在产品设计、制造、仿真和其他应用中的作用等主题，拟议活动的智力价值在于教育机会和社区的共同研究目标。通过为在这些领域学习的学生提供旅行赠款，NSF鼓励学生从事跨学科工作并增强他们的学术经验。其次，这次会议所涉及的学术问题在国家迫切需要的许多领域都至关重要。本次会议上提出的工作涵盖了从生物医学CAD和生物制造到下一代材料的可持续设计和优化的各种主题。更广泛的影响是在发展这些旅行赠款支持的学生的职业生涯和他们在这些国家急需的领域的工作。几何学和拓扑学在从产品设计到虚拟培训系统再到先进制造技术的各个方面都发挥着核心作用，那么，这些活动的适当培养呢？尤其是跨学科的研究对培养出能满足国家需求的科学家和工程师至关重要s的需要。
