Frontier Probability Days Conference

该奖项支持参加于2016年5月9日至11日在犹他大学举行的“前沿概率日”研究会议。会议汇集了地区和国家领先的研究人员、研究生和其他对概率论及其应用感兴趣的科学家，以刺激该领域的研究活动并促进新的跨学科合作。这次会议的一个特别之处在于它对“概率的应用”的关注。会议的部分目的是帮助扩大与其他领域的参与，为概率论研究的更多应用和理论方面提供灵感。该奖项的大部分支持被分配给学生和早期职业研究人员的旅行支持，对于他们来说，会议是了解最新研究进展和发起研究合作的绝佳机会。这次会议是大约每两年在美国西部山间举行的系列会议中的第五次会议。会议形式包括七次全体会议和几次较短的发言。全体会议发言人代表了理论和应用概率论领域的一系列领先工作。预计约有50名非本地人士参加会议。感兴趣的主题包括随机矩阵，无序和相互作用的系统，随机分析，以及概率应用到生物学和动力系统。更多细节可以在会议网站上找到：http://www.math.utah.edu/~firas/FPD16/

This award supports participation in the research conference "Frontier Probability Days" held at The University of Utah, May 9 - 11, 2016. The meeting brings together leading regional and national researchers, graduate students, and other scientists interested in probability theory and its applications, to stimulate research activity in this area and foster new interdisciplinary collaborations. A special feature of the conference is its attention to "applications of probability." Part of the intent of the meeting is to help broaden participation with other fields, a source of inspiration for both more applied and theoretical aspects of probability research. Much of the support in this award is allocated to travel support for students and early-career researchers, for whom the conference represents an excellent opportunity to stay informed of recent research progress and to initiate research collaborations. This meeting is the fifth in a series that meets approximately every two years in the Intermountain West of the United States. The format consists of seven plenary talks and several shorter presentations. The plenary speakers represent a spectrum of leading work in both theoretical and applied probability. Roughly fifty non-local participants are expected to participate in the conference. Topics of interest include random matrices, disordered and interacting systems, stochastic analysis, and probabilistic applications to biology and dynamical systems.
