This award provides support for a two-day Midwest Conference on Mathematical Methods for Images and Surfaces, to be held on August 27-28, 2011 on the campus of Michigan State University. This meeting was originally planned to bring together researchers of all career stages who work or are interested in mathematical methods for images and surfaces. However, after looking at the schedules and participants of many other conferences we feel that there is a strong need to reach out to researchers in their early careers, particularly in their training period. We have decided to make this conference one that focuses more on bringing together junior researchers. We hope that this conference will serve as a venue for junior researchers to connect with one another and with a group of more senior researchers who have a track record of willingness to mentor junior faculties. Among invited 15 speakers, 6 are female, 11 are junior researchers (including PhD student who has done outstanding research work), and 5 are experts from molecular biology, computer science, mechanical engineering, physiology and radiology. This conference has no invited plenary speakers and all talks are of equal length, which provides an opportunity for young researchers to meet each other in a relaxed yet scientifically rigorous setting. The award will be used entirely for supporting graduate students, postdocs, junior faculty, and researchers from under-represented groups. The research areas represented at the conference span a diverse array of topics in mathematical images and surfaces. Example topics include but are not limited to level set methods, Mumford-Shah functional, higher-order curvature flows, geometric flows for biomedical surface generations, differential geometry based multiscale modeling, partial differential equation transform, surface free energy minimization, wavelet and multiresolution analysis, compressed sensing, cellular imaging and cellular image analysis, biomedical imaging, molecular imaging, bioluminescence imaging, fluorescent imaging, PET imaging, ultrasound imaging, MRI, the analysis of protein, virus and membrane surfaces, image segmentation, computational anatomy, pattern recognition, machine learning, and video analysis and processing. This conference will provide a forum to exchange new ideas and results in images and surfaces and foster interdisciplinary collaborations.

该奖项为为期两天的中西部图像和表面数学方法会议提供支持，该会议将于2011年8月27日至28日在密歇根州立大学校园举行。这次会议最初计划汇集所有职业阶段的研究人员，他们对图像和表面的数学方法感兴趣。然而，在查看了许多其他会议的时间表和与会者之后，我们认为，非常需要在研究人员的早期职业生涯中，特别是在他们的培训期间，与他们接触。我们已经决定使这次会议更加侧重于将初级研究人员聚集在一起。 我们希望这次会议将作为一个场地，初级研究人员相互联系，并与一组更资深的研究人员谁愿意指导初级教师的跟踪记录。在受邀的15位演讲者中，6位是女性，11位是初级研究人员（包括在研究工作中做出突出贡献的博士生），5位是来自分子生物学、计算机科学、机械工程、生理学和放射学的专家。本次会议没有邀请全体发言人，所有的会谈都是平等的长度，这为年轻的研究人员提供了一个机会，以满足彼此在一个轻松的，但科学严谨的设置。该奖项将完全用于支持研究生，博士后，初级教师和来自代表性不足群体的研究人员。会议上代表的研究领域涵盖了数学图像和表面的各种主题。示例主题包括但不限于水平集方法、Mumford-Shah泛函、高阶曲率流、生物医学表面生成的几何流、基于微分几何的多尺度建模、偏微分方程变换、表面自由能最小化、小波和多分辨率分析、压缩传感、细胞成像和细胞图像分析、生物医学成像、分子成像、生物发光成像、荧光成像、PET成像、超声成像、MRI、蛋白质、病毒和膜表面分析、图像分割、计算解剖学、模式识别、机器学习以及视频分析和处理。 本次会议将提供一个论坛，以交流新的想法和成果的图像和表面，并促进跨学科的合作。更多信息可以在我们的会议网站上找到：http://www.mth.msu.edu/MCMM2/index.html。
