This award will support participants attending the first Workshop for Women in Computational Topology. Computational topology is a new and exciting field emerging at the intersection of mathematics and computer science, with applications in areas such as big data, image recognition, and medical imaging, among many others. Traditionally, representation of women in these research areas is quite low, and attrition rates are high at all levels. This award will allow the creation of a network of junior and senior women in this research area, a strategy which has proven invaluable to broadening participation in such areas. Participants will spend a week at the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications, providing a critical opportunity for research collaboration as well as networking and mentoring for women.Computational topology brings together tools from topology, geometry, algorithms, and statistics in order to tackle a range of problems from applications that include graphics, sensor networks, medical imaging, materials engineering, GIS, big data analysis, and many others. This workshop will form a series of working groups that will tackle open problems posed by senior women researchers in computational topology on topics ranging from computing optimal mappings between surfaces to investigating open problems related to persistent homology to applying techniques to new applications. Results from the workshop will be published in an AWM Springer volume, and follow-up events will be organized in conjunction with AWM to continue to grow the network.

该奖项将支持参加第一届计算拓扑学女性研讨会的参与者。 计算拓扑学是数学和计算机科学交叉点上出现的一个令人兴奋的新领域，在大数据、图像识别和医学成像等领域都有应用。 传统上，妇女在这些研究领域的代表性很低，各级的自然减员率都很高。 这一奖项将有助于在这一研究领域建立一个初级和高级妇女网络，事实证明，这一战略对扩大这些领域的参与非常宝贵。 与会者将在数学及其应用研究所度过一周，为研究合作以及网络和女性指导提供了一个重要的机会。计算拓扑学汇集了拓扑学，几何学，算法和统计学的工具，以解决图形，传感器网络，医学成像，材料工程，GIS，大数据分析，和其他许多人.本次研讨会将形成一系列的工作组，将解决由高级女研究人员在计算拓扑学的主题，从计算表面之间的最佳映射，调查有关持久同源性的开放问题，以应用技术的新应用程序提出的开放问题。 研讨会的结果将在AWM Springer卷中发表，并将与AWM一起组织后续活动，以继续发展网络。
