The scientific communities of the U.S. and China suffer from a lack of direct contact between their junior members of the two countries, especially students. The proposed International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) program will support 24 U.S. undergraduate students to conduct research in applied mathematics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) during the summer of 2016, 2017, and 2018. The IRES students will be assigned to teams, each consisting of two US and two Hong Kong students, and each team will work on a research project sponsored by a Chinese company or government agency. The US students will live and work at HKUST with students from Hong Kong. The project will be supervised overall by the PI, with local supervision by HKUST Mathematics Professor and Department Chair Yang Wang and Professor Shingyu Leung. The nine-week-long collaborative project is designed to expose U.S. students to the international mathematics research community at an early stage of their careers. The IRES project will increase the visibility of U.S. students in Hong Kong and China through their activities in the HKUST campus and through their direct collaboration with Hong Kong students. The US student participants will be about 50% women and 20% from an underrepresented minority group demonstrating NSF?s commitment to participation in STEM fields by under-represented minority groups.The IRES project will provide U.S. students with valuable experience in mathematics research, industrial research, international collaboration, and team work at a highly-regarded research institute. The research projects and sponsors will change every year, which is by design to keep the projects at the leading edge of scientific research. All projects involve mathematics on important current problems. Recent examples (and industrial sponsors) include Doubly Ensemble Movie Prediction with Social Media Data Using TBEEF (Baidu), Detection of Somatic Mutations in Sequenced Pair Samples (BGI), Probabilistic Radar-Based Nowcasting of Monsoonal Rainstorms in Hong Kong (Hong Kong Observatory), Improved Maximum Likelihood Detection in MIMO Systems (Huawei), and Intelligent Eye for the Visually Impaired (Lenovo). We expect each project to result in publications and lead to further research collaboration. The knowledge and skills that students learn from this project will better prepare them for their professional careers.

美中两国的科学界缺乏两国初级成员之间的直接接触，尤其是学生。拟议的国际学生研究经验（IRES）计划将支持24名美国本科生在2016年，2017年和2018年夏季在香港科技大学（HKUST）进行应用数学研究。IRES的学生将被分配到团队中，每个团队由两名美国学生和两名香港学生组成，每个团队将从事由中国公司或政府机构资助的研究项目。美国学生将与香港学生一起在科大生活和工作。该项目将由PI全面监督，香港科技大学数学系教授兼系主任王洋和梁星宇教授负责本地监督。这个为期九周的合作项目旨在让美国学生在其职业生涯的早期阶段接触到国际数学研究界。IRES项目将通过美国学生在科大校园的活动以及他们与香港学生的直接合作，提高他们在香港和中国大陆的知名度。美国学生参与者中约有50%是女性，20%来自代表性不足的少数群体。美国致力于让代表性不足的少数群体参与STEM领域。IRES项目将为美国学生提供在备受尊敬的研究机构进行数学研究、工业研究、国际合作和团队合作的宝贵经验。研究项目和赞助人每年都会更换，这是为了保持项目在科学研究的前沿。所有的项目都涉及当前重要问题的数学。最近的例子（和行业赞助商）包括使用TBEEF（百度）基于社交媒体数据的双集合电影预测（百度），序列对样本的体细胞突变检测（华大基因），基于概率雷达的香港季风暴雨临近预报（香港天文台），MIMO系统的改进最大似然检测（华为），以及视障人士智能眼（联想）。我们希望每个项目都能发表论文，并促进进一步的研究合作。学生从这个项目中学到的知识和技能将为他们的职业生涯做更好的准备。
