This award supports participation in the 33rd International Symposium on Computational Geometry, July 4-7, 2017. 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 those from under-represented groups, by encouraging and enabling their participation, especially in cases where travel expenses would otherwise preclude their attendance. Participation in a top-level event such as SOCG can be educating, motivating, and useful for networking, both with other students and with more senior scientists. This support dovetails nicely with the Young Researchers Forum, a successful satellite event added to the conference in 2012 to encourage and promote computational geometry research by students and postdocs.

该奖项支持参加2017年7月4日至7日举行的第33届计算几何国际研讨会。SOCG是一个集中的会议，讨论如何开发算法来解决几何形式最好的问题。在以前的SOCG会议上提出的研究对美国经济的不同领域产生了重大影响，包括几何数据处理、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的算法。这一奖项旨在通过鼓励和促进学生的参与，特别是在旅费使他们无法出席的情况下，增加这次会议对学生的影响，特别是那些来自代表人数不足的群体的学生。参加像SOCG这样的顶级活动可以教育、激励学生，并有助于与其他学生和更资深的科学家建立联系。这一支持与青年研究人员论坛非常吻合，该论坛是2012年加入会议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。
