The Fifth Conference on Computational and Mathematical Population Dynamics

该会议奖为第五届计算和数学人口动力学会议的美国参与者提供部分支持，该会议将于2019年5月19日至5月24日在佛罗里达州劳德代尔堡举行。数学种群动力学在历史上是数学生物学的第一个分支领域。它在从分子到生态系统的多个尺度上不断发展和扩大其对自然的理解。数学种群动态是许多学科创新的驱动力：免疫学、流行病学、生态学和一些医学科学（如癌症、微生物学等）。这次国际会议将汇集高级、中期和初级研究人员，在为期一周的时间里进行激烈的思想交流和网络交流。会议将有助于培训年轻研究人员的演讲和沟通技巧，以及发起新的合作和最先进的新研究方向。第五届计算与数学种群动力学会议（CMPD5）是数学种群动力学会议和生物相互作用确定性与随机模型会议的第五次联合会议，已有30多年的国际会议历史。这次国际会议的目标是汇集领先的研究人员就他们目前在计算和数学人口动力学方面的工作进行交流。作为在美国举办的第一次此类会议，该会议将为美国的研究生、博士后研究员和初级教师提供一个独特的机会，与数学和计算人口动力学领域的主要研究人员进行互动。NSF提供的资金将用于支持美国的参与者，包括少数民族和妇女，并将使年轻科学家和代表性不足的群体接触到计算和数学人口动态跨学科领域的当前研究主题和技术。会议的工作将集中在两个主要方向：发展数学技术，包括一些新的机器学习技术，能够解决大数据问题；发展新的和现有的技术的应用，以解决紧迫的社会问题，如健康问题，污染，物种入侵和控制，传染病的出现和重新出现，以及现有疾病的激增。关于本次会议的更多信息可以在http://www.math.fau.edu/cmpd5/This上找到，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，被认为值得支持。

This conference award provides partial support for US-based participants to the Fifth Conference on Computational and Mathematical Population Dynamics, to be held in Ft. Lauderdale, FL during May 19 - May 24, 2019. Mathematical population dynamics was historically the first subfield of Mathematical Biology to be developed. It continues to grow and expand its influence of understanding nature on multiple scales, from molecules to ecosystems. Mathematical population dynamics is a driving force of innovation with applications in many disciplines: immunology, epidemiology, ecology, and a number of medical sciences (e.g. cancer, microbiology, and others). This international conference will bring together senior, mid-career, and junior researchers for a week of intense exchange of ideas and networking. The conference will contribute to the training of young researchers in presentation and communication skills, as well as to initiate new collaborations and state-of-the art new research directions.The Fifth Conference on Computational and Mathematical Population Dynamics (CMPD5) is the fifth joint meeting of the Conference on Mathematical Population Dynamics and the Conference on Deterministic and Stochastic Models for Biological Interactions, with a history of more than 30 years worth of international meetings. The goal of this international conference is to bring together leading researchers to communicate about their current work on computational and mathematical population dynamics. As the first conference of this sequence to be organized in the United States, the conference will provide a unique opportunity for U.S.- based graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty to interact with leading researchers in the area of mathematical and computational population dynamics. The funding provided by NSF will be used to support US-based participants, including minorities and women, and will provide young scientists and under-represented groups exposure to current research topics and techniques in the interdisciplinary area of computational and mathematical population dynamics. The work at the conference will focus in two main directions: developing the mathematical techniques, including some novel techniques of machine learning, capable of tackling big data problems, and developing the applications of the new and existing techniques to address pressing societal issues, such as health problems, pollution, invasion of species and control, emergence and reemergence of infectious diseases, and surging of existing diseases.
