The Ninth Annual Graduate Student Mini-conference in Computational Mathematics

该奖项支持于2018年2月17日至18日在南卡罗来纳大学哥伦比亚校区举行的“第九届年度计算数学研究生小型会议”。会议网页是http://imi.cas.sc.edu/events/ninth-annual-graduate-student-mini-conference-computational-mathematics/。这次会议将通过将在计算数学前沿工作的广泛的学生和研究人员聚集在一起来促进科学的进步。主题包括偏微分方程模型的理论和数值解的最新进展，但不限于材料科学，湍流，生物医学流动，气候模拟和数据丰富的现象。该系列会议为不同文化背景的研究生和博士们提供了一个舒适的论坛，让他们展示自己的工作，了解最新进展，建立合作关系，并建立网络，以促进他们的职业发展机会。第九届年度研究生小型会议将延续这一传统。会议组织者致力于支持研究生、刚获得博士学位的学生和来自代表性不足群体的研究人员的参与。组委会预计约有55名与会者出席，其中包括1名高级和1名初级全体会议发言人，30名研究生（10名来自南加州大学）和他们的导师（5名来自南加州大学）。会议由2次45分钟的全体会议、16次15分钟的专题会议和1次2小时的讨论组成。特别地，一场全体会议将由来自阿贡国家实验室的高级计算科学家进行，另一场将由南加州大学的初级博士后进行；所有的专题讲座都将由研究生进行，讨论环节将围绕研究生和博士后的职业发展展开。学生演讲者将根据他们的简历和咨询他们的导师关于他们的研究成果从与会者中选出。

This awards supports "The Ninth Annual Graduate Student Mini-conference in Computational Mathematics", held at University of South Carolina at its Columbia campus on February 17-18, 2018. The conference webpage is at http://imi.cas.sc.edu/events/ninth-annual-graduate-student-mini-conference-computational-mathematics/. The conference will promote the progress of science by bringing together a wide group of students and researchers working at the frontier of computational mathematics. Topics include recent advances in the theory and implementation of numerical solutions to partial differential equation models for, but not limited to, materials science, turbulence, biomedical flows, climate simulation, and data rich phenomena. The conference series has established a unique role as a comfortable forum for culturally diverse graduate students and recent Ph.D.s to present their work, learn of recent advances, form collaborations, and network to advance their career opportunities. The Ninth Annual Graduate Student Mini-conference will continue this tradition. The conference organizers are committed to supporting the participation of graduate students, recent Ph.D.s, and researchers from underrepresented groups. The organizing committee anticipates approximately 55 participants in attendance, to include 1 senior and 1 junior plenary speakers, 30 graduate students (10 from USC), and their advisors (5 from USC). The conference consists of 2 forty-five-minute-long plenary talks, approximately 16 fifteen-minute-long contributed talks, and 1 two-hour-long discussion session. In particular, one plenary talk will be given by a senior computational scientist from Argonne National Laboratory, the other will be presented by a junior postdoc fellow at USC; all the contributed talks will be given by graduate students, and the discussion session will focus on the career development for graduate students and postdocs. The student speakers will be selected from attendees based on their CVs and by consulting with their advisors about their research achievements.
