NSF Student and Postdoc Travel Grant for the 2017 International Meshing Roundtable (2017 IMR)

该项目支持学生前往参加将于2017年9月18-21日在西班牙巴塞罗那举行的第26届国际网格圆桌会议。网格划分是将复杂的对象分解成简单的部分进行设计、显示和分析。随着计算技术和计算机辅助设计与制造技术的变化，对网格划分的需求似乎只会增加。IMR会议包括四门短期课程、四名特邀演讲者、评审论文、研究笔记和海报的展示，以及一个专门针对学生和博士后的专业发展会议。该奖项将支持12名学生（来自美国大学、国家实验室或非营利研究机构的本科生到博士后）的注册和一些差旅费，与来自世界各地的专家交流思想，促进合作和认可，帮助他们开展职业生涯。（关于评选标准，请参阅会议网站http://www.imr.sandia.gov/26imr）This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。

This project supports student travel to participate in the 26th International Meshing Roundtable conference will be held on September 18-21, 2017 in Barcelona, Spain. Meshing is the decomposition of complex objects into simple parts for design, display, and analysis. As technologies change in computing and computer-aided design and manufacturing the demand for meshing seems only to increase. The IMR conference includes four short courses, four invited speakers, and presentations of reviewed papers, research notes, and posters, and a professional development session particularly targeting students and postdocs. This award will support registration and some travel expenses for a dozen students (undergraduate to postdoctoral, coming from U.S. universities, national labs, or non-profit research organizations) to exchange ideas with experts from around the world, fostering collaboration and recognition that can help them launch their careers. (For selection criteria, see the conference web site http://www.imr.sandia.gov/26imr)This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
