CBMS Conference: Interface of Mathematical Biology and Linear Algebra

该奖项支持将于2022年5月23-27日在中佛罗里达大学举行的NSF-CBMS会议“数学生物学与线性代数的接口”。为期5天的会议将有三位主要演讲者，他们将共同发表10个主要演讲。Pauline van den Driessche教授在过去的40年里在数学生物学和线性代数的界面上开创了许多进步，他将发表这些主要讲座中的4个。关于线性代数和数学生物学的专业知识和进一步的见解将由斯蒂芬·柯克兰教授和马克·刘易斯教授分别讲授两套三堂课。这10场讲座将突出这两个数学研究分支交汇处最前沿的研究，促进线性代数新工具和新技术的发展，以及在数学生物学中的实际应用。会议的重点是数学生物学和线性代数这两个长期相互作用的数学领域的前沿研究，这两个领域在更高水平上取得了重大新进展。具体地说，最近新的代数理论的进步和经典矩阵结果的新应用帮助解决了数学生物学中的许多挑战，而生物驱动的研究问题吸引了越来越多的线性代数领域的研究人员。这次会议将汇聚一直致力于生物驱动的代数问题和/或代数强迫生物应用的两组研究人员，提供一个独特的平台来交流各自领域的最新进展，加强现有的合作并发起跨两个分支的新合作，最重要的是，向职业生涯早期的研究人员和研究生展示数学生物学和线性代数的接口。有关会议的更多信息将在网站上获得：https://sciences.ucf.edu/math/cbmsThis奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports the NSF-CBMS conference "Interface of Mathematical Biology and Linear Algebra" to be held at the University of Central Florida, during May 23-27, 2022. The 5-day conference will feature three principal speakers who will co-deliver 10 main lectures. Professor Pauline van den Driessche, who has pioneered many advancements at the interface of mathematical biology and linear algebra in the past 40 years, will deliver 4 of these main lectures. Expertise and further insight on linear algebra and mathematical biology will be provided by two sets of 3 lectures, delivered by Professor Stephen Kirkland and Professor Mark Lewis, respectively. These 10 lectures will highlight the most cutting-edge research at the intersection of these two branches of mathematical research, and promote the development of new tools and techniques in linear algebra and practical applications in mathematical biology. The focus of the conference is at the cutting-edge research at the interface of mathematical biology and linear algebra, two long-time interacting mathematical fields, which have witnessed significant new advances at a higher level. Specifically, recent advances of new algebraic theories and novel applications of classic matrix results have helped resolve many challenges in mathematical biology, while biologically-driven research problems have attracted an increasing number of researchers in the field of linear algebra. The conference will bring together both groups of researchers who have been working on biologically-driven algebraic problems and/or algebraically-forced biological applications, provide a unique platform to communicate the recent advances in their fields, strengthen the existing and initiate new collaborations across the two branches, and, most importantly, showcase the interface of mathematical biology and linear algebra for early-career researchers and graduate students.
