Conference on Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics

首席研究人员将于2016年6月3日至4日在新泽西州纽瓦克的新泽西理工学院(NJIT)举办“应用与计算数学前沿2016”会议。欢迎来自应用数学和统计学所有领域的贡献。会议的主要主题将是材料科学的数学和计算方面、数学生物学、波传播、生物和微尺度流体动力学、统计学和生物统计学。这些主题中的每一个都处于当前数学和计算技术发展的前沿。它们都有实际应用，包括理解和开发新材料、中枢神经系统、声波和电磁波现象、细胞和其他软物质的行为，以及改进临床研究和空间和社会统计数据的分析。与会者将包括来自学术界、工业界和政府实验室的数学家、统计学家、科学家和工程师。这次会议将汇集来自美国和其他国家的学生、初级研究人员和各自领域的领导者，在非正式和平易近人的环境中进行互动和交流。组织者的一个目标是向老牌研究人员和新兴研究领域介绍应用数学和统计学的未来领导者。研究生和博士后的参与受到极大的鼓励，通过与顶尖科学家一起在小型会议上进行精选的贡献演讲来鼓励。对于学生和博士后来说，这将是一次学习和交流的经历，将有助于他们的研究和职业道路。这次为期两天的会议将包括四次全体会议，今年的重点议题各一次：材料科学、统计学与神经科学的接口、波传播和生物动力流体动力学。上午和下午的小型专题讨论会将分三次平行进行：一次是统计学或生物统计学领域，两次是今年的重点应用数学领域。将积极鼓励来自应用数学和统计学所有领域的海报演示。会议预计将吸引140-160人参加。将投入大量资金支持学生、博士后研究员、初级研究人员和代表性不足的群体的参与。自2004年以来，NJIT的数学科学系每年都会就不同的重点领域主办这类会议。欲了解更多信息，请访问会议网站http://m.njit.edu/Events/FACM16/。

The Principal Investigators will organize the conference "Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics 2016", to be held at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), Newark, New Jersey, June 3-4, 2016. Contributions from all areas of applied mathematics and statistics are welcome. The main conference themes will be on mathematical and computational aspects of materials science, mathematical biology, wave propagation, biological and microscale fluid dynamics, statistics, and biostatistics. Each of these topics is at the forefront of current developments of mathematical and computational techniques. Together they have practical applications that include the understanding and development of new materials, the central nervous system, acoustic and electromagnetic wave phenomena, the behavior of cellular and other soft matter, and improved analysis of data from clinical studies and spatial and societal statistics. The conference participants will include mathematicians, statisticians, scientists and engineers from academia, industry, and government laboratories. The conference will bring together students, junior researchers, and leaders in their field from the US and other countries to interact and exchange ideas in an informal and approachable setting. A goal of the organizers is to introduce future leaders of applied mathematics and statistics to established investigators and emerging research areas. Participation among graduate students and postdocs is greatly encouraged through selected contributed talks being given in minisymposia alongside leading scientists. For students and postdocs, this will be a learning and networking experience that will help them with their research and career paths. Special efforts will be made to continue the participation of underrepresented groups.The two-day conference will include four plenary talks, one in each of this year's focus topics: materials science, the interface between statistics and neuroscience, wave propagation, and biologically motivated fluid dynamics. Morning and afternoon minisymposia will be given in three parallel sessions: one in an area of statistics or biostatistics, and two in this year's focus areas of applied mathematics. Poster presentations will be actively encouraged from all areas of applied mathematics and statistics. The conference is expected to attract 140-160 participants. Substantial funds will be devoted to support the participation of students, postdoctoral fellows, junior researchers, and underrepresented groups. The Department of Mathematical Sciences at NJIT has hosted a conference of this type on different focus areas each year since 2004.
