International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SOCG) 2015, Eindhoven, The Netherlands, June 22-25, 2015

该奖项支持参加2015年6月22日至25日举行的第31届计算几何国际研讨会。 SOCG是一个重点会议，考虑如何开发算法来解决最好用几何形式表示的问题。 在以前的SOCG会议上提出的研究在不同领域对美国经济产生了重大影响，包括几何数据处理算法，计算机视觉，地理信息系统，制造，图形和可视化，优化，计算机辅助设计和网络。该奖项旨在增加本次会议对学生的影响，特别是那些来自代表性不足的群体，通过鼓励和帮助他们参与，特别是在旅费使他们无法出席的情况下。参加一个顶级的活动，如SOCG可以教育，激励和有用的网络，无论是与其他学生和更资深的科学家。这种支持与青年研究人员论坛（Young Researchers Forum）很好地结合在一起，这是2012年会议上增加的一个成功的卫星活动，旨在鼓励和促进学生和博士后的计算几何研究。

This award supports participation in the 31st International Symposium on Computational Geometry, Jun 22-25, 2015. SOCG is a focused conference that considers how to develop algorithms to solve problems best stated in geometric form. Research presented at previous SOCG conferences has had significant impact on the US economy in diverse areas that include algorithms for geometric data processing, computer vision, geographic information systems, manufacturing, graphics and visualization, optimization, computer-aided design, and networks.This award aims to increase the impact of this conference on students, particularly thosefrom under-represented groups, by encouraging and enabling their participation, especially in caseswhere travel expenses would otherwise preclude their attendance. Participation in a top-level eventsuch as SOCG can be educating, motivating, and useful for networking, both with other studentsand with more senior scientists. This support dovetails nicely with the Young ResearchersForum, a successful satellite event added to the conference in 2012 to encourage and promotecomputational geometry research by students and postdocs.
