This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) award supports an interdisciplinary training program for Ph.D. students at Brandeis University, carried out in partnership with the New England Center for Complex Systems (NECSI). The goal is to create a group of mathematical scientists with the computational skills, intellectual flexibility, and global perspective needed to attack pressing problems in pure science, applied science, and public policy that require a mathematically sophisticated, interdisciplinary approach. Intellectual Merit: Fundamental problems in the theory of fundamental particles, quantum gravity, the science of materials, the emergence of cognition, disease epidemiology, and economic forecasting all draw from a set of common mathematical concepts and techniques in geometry, complex classical and quantum systems, and probability theory. Students trained in a variety of mathematical techniques, broadly educated in the applications of these techniques, and experienced in communicating their ideas across disciplines will best be able to respond to new scientific problems whose solution requires advanced mathematics, sophisticated modeling, and the management of large data sets. The IGERT program will therefore include: hands-on experience through interdisciplinary research rotations; interdisciplinary coursework; co-advisors outside of the students? discipline; intensive NECSI-led summer institutes; an IGERT seminar series; and the opportunity for internships at the International Center for the Theoretical Sciences in Bangalore, India. Broader Impacts: Students will learn to communicate their work to prospective science students and the public via public lectures, the Brandeis Science Posse program, and the Acton Discovery Center.IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the interdisciplinary background, deep knowledge in a chosen discipline, and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.

这个综合研究生教育和研究培训（IGERT）奖支持博士的跨学科培训计划。布兰迪斯大学的学生，与新英格兰复杂系统中心（NECSI）合作进行。我们的目标是创建一组数学科学家的计算技能，智力的灵活性，和全球视野需要攻击紧迫的问题，在纯科学，应用科学和公共政策，需要一个数学复杂的，跨学科的方法。 智力优势：基本粒子理论、量子引力、材料科学、认知的出现、疾病流行病学和经济预测中的基本问题都来自于几何、复杂经典和量子系统以及概率论中的一组常见数学概念和技术。学生接受过各种数学技术的培训，在这些技术的应用方面受到广泛的教育，并且在跨学科交流他们的想法方面经验丰富，最有能力应对新的科学问题，这些问题的解决需要先进的数学，复杂的建模和大型数据集的管理。因此，IGERT计划将包括：通过跨学科研究轮换实践经验;跨学科课程;学生以外的共同顾问？纪律;密集的NECSI领导的暑期学院; IGERT系列研讨会;以及在印度班加罗尔国际理论科学中心实习的机会。更广泛的影响：学生将学会通过公开讲座，布兰迪斯科学波塞计划和阿克顿发现中心向未来的科学学生和公众传达他们的工作。IGERT是一个旨在应对教育美国博士的挑战的NSF范围内的计划。具有跨学科背景的科学家和工程师，在所选学科的深厚知识，以及未来职业需求所需的技术，专业和个人技能。该计划旨在通过建立创新的研究生教育和培训新模式，在超越传统学科界限的合作研究的肥沃环境中促进研究生教育的文化变革。
