NSF-SIAM Symposium on the Mathematical and Computational Aspects of Materials Science

该提案要求资金支持10名演讲者和为期一天的材料科学数学和计算方面研讨会的组织者的旅行费用，请参阅http://www.siam.org/meetings/cse15/symposium.php。本次研讨会将于2015年3月14-18日在犹他州盐湖城举行的SIAM计算科学与工程会议（CS&amp；E）上举行。研讨会的目标是将应用和计算数学和材料科学领域的领导者聚集在一起，以开发合作项目，推动材料设计和分析的艺术状态。为了响应由美国科学技术政策办公室（Office of Science and Technology Policy）制定的多机构材料基因组全球竞争力计划，并推进他们自己的研究议程，材料科学界已经开始了各种大规模的计算项目。这些项目为材料科学家与数学和计算科学家合作提供了具有挑战性的机会，以便通过开发数学模型，计算算法和数据分析工具来推进材料研究和设计的最新技术。研讨会将提供一个展望和探索材料研究关键领域的机会，其中数学建模和数值模拟可以加速技术重要领域的进步，例如智能材料和设计和评估存储和传输能量的新方法。为了把重点放在加速进展上，演讲者被要求做前瞻性的演讲，而不是关于他们最近的研究活动的演讲。

This proposal requests funds to support travel expenses for ten speakers and the organizer of a one day symposium on the Mathematical and Computational Aspects of Materials Science, see http://www.siam.org/meetings/cse15/symposium.php. This symposium will take place at the SIAM Conference on Computational Science and Engineering (CS&E), which will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah on March 14-18, 2015. The goal of the symposium is to bring together leaders in applied and computational mathematics and materials science in order to develop collaborative projects that will advance the state of the art in materials design and analysis. In response to the multi-agency Materials Genome Initiative for Global Competitiveness, developed by the U.S. Office of Science and Technology Policy, and to advance their own research agendas, the materials science community has embarked on various large-scale computational projects. These projects offer challenging opportunities for materials scientists to collaborate with mathematical and computational scientists in order to advance the state of the art in materials research and design by developing mathematical models, computational algorithms, and tools for data analysis. The symposium will present an opportunity to look ahead and explore critical areas of materials research where mathematical modeling and numerical simulations can accelerate progress in technologically important areas, such as smart materials and design and evaluation of new ways to store and transmit energy. In order to keep the focus on accelerating progress, the speakers have been instructed to give forward looking presentations, rather than presentations about their most recent research activities.
