Sixth Annual Graduate Student Mini-conference on Computational Mathematics, March 7-8, 2014

该奖项支持参加2014年3月7日至8日在弗吉尼亚理工大学举行的第六届计算数学研究生年度小型会议。该系列会议邀请了来自美国东南部大西洋地区多所研究型大学的研究人员和研究生参加。这次会议的主要目的是为研究生提供一个以海报(互动)或简短演示形式展示他们的研究的场所。会议还包括一位来自参与大学的全体演讲者。这一系列会议向学生展示了计算数学中广泛领域的现代研究方向，包括但不限于：湍流、大涡模拟、最优控制、地下水流动、磁流体动力学、随机偏微分方程组的数值逼近、模型简化方法、流固相互作用和气候建模。这些会议为未来在这些重要研究领域的合作奠定了基础。对于大多数学生参与者来说，这个小型会议在支持性的氛围中提供了他们的第一次演讲体验，并提供了与具有相同或相关研究兴趣的大型研究人员网络的宝贵接触。迷你会议一直吸引着不同背景和国籍的参与者。强烈鼓励代表人数不足的群体，包括妇女和少数群体参加。会议网址：www.icam.vt.edu/Conference/johnfest_2014/

This award supports participation in the Sixth Annual Graduate Student Mini-conference on Computational Mathematics, held at Virginia Tech on March 7-8, 2014. The conference series engages researchers and graduate students from a number of research universities in the southeastern Atlantic region of the United States. The primary objective of this meeting is to provide a venue for graduate students to present their research in either poster (interactive) or short presentation formats. The conference also includes a plenary speaker from one of the participating universities. This conference series exposes students to modern research directions in a wide range of areas in computational mathematics including, but not limited to: turbulent flow, large eddy simulation, optimal control, groundwater flows, magnetohydrodynamics, numerical approximation for stochastic partial differential equations, model reduction methods, fluid-structure interaction, and climate modeling. The meetings lay the groundwork for future collaborations in these important research areas.For most of the student participants, this mini-conference provides their first presentation experience within a supportive atmosphere and provides valuable exposure to a large network of researchers with the same or related research interests. The mini-conference has always attracted participants of different backgrounds and nationalities. Underrepresented groups, including women and minorities, are strongly encouraged to participate.Conference web site: www.icam.vt.edu/Conferences/johnfest_2014/
