Conference on Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics (FACM-2022): New Perspectives in Mathematical Biology

该奖项支持研究生和本科生、初级教师和博士后参加应用与计算数学前沿会议（FACM-2022）：数学生物学新视角会议，该会议于2022年5月20日至21日在新泽西州纽瓦克的新泽西理工学院（NJIT）举行。本次会议将汇集研究人员应用先进的数学建模工具来解决生命科学中的各种问题，从细胞生物学到生物群体的集体行为，使他们能够分享思想，形成跨学科的新联系，以解决具有广泛科学和社会重要性的挑战性问题。会议将接待约100名与会者，其中至少70%的与会者包括学生、博士后和早期职业教师。旅行支助将专门用于支持初级研究人员的参与，特别是那些来自数学和生命科学领域代表性不足的群体的研究人员，帮助他们推进职业道路。本次会议是每年在新泽西理工大学举行的“应用与计算数学前沿”（FACM）年度会议系列的一部分。自2004年举行的第一次农委会会议以来，今年的会议将重点关注生命科学中数学和计算建模的几个具体但足够广泛的领域，跨越多个组织层次：(1)大型生物种群中的紧急集体行为，(2)生物流体研究中的机器学习和数据科学方法，(3)生物和人工神经网络的学习范式，以及(4)不同尺度的生物学随机建模。会议还将重点介绍生命科学中最先进的建模方法，这些方法将数据科学技术与应用和计算数学工具相结合。将这些不同领域的研究人员聚集在一起，将带来重要的思想交流和新的合作，否则这可能是不可能的。此外，会议将使初级研究人员（研究生和本科生，博士后研究员和早期职业教师）了解这些基本问题和解决这些挑战的先进跨学科工具，这些工具将在他们的研究和未来的科学和技术职业中使用。会议网址：https://sites.google.com/njit.edu/facm2022/homeThis该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 award supports participation of graduate and undergraduate students, junior faculty and postdoctoral fellows in the Conference on Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics (FACM-2022): New Perspectives in Mathematical Biology conference, held May 20-21, 2022, at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) in Newark, New Jersey. This conference will bring together researchers applying advanced mathematical modeling tools to diverse problems in the life sciences ranging from cell biology to collective behavior of biological populations, allowing them to share ideas and form new connections across disciplines to tackle challenging problems of broad scientific and societal importance. The conference will host approximately 100 participants, with at least 70% of attendees comprising students, postdocs, and early-career faculty. Travel support will be specifically targeted to support the participation of junior researchers, particularly those from groups under-represented in mathematics and the life sciences, helping in the advancement of their career paths.This conference is part of the series of annual conferences “Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics'' (FACM) held annually at NJIT. In the years since the first FACM meeting, held in 2004. This year the conference will focus on several specific but sufficiently broad areas of mathematical and computational modeling in the life sciences, spanning multiple levels of organization: (1) emergent collective behavior in large biological populations, (2) machine learning and data-science approaches in the study of biofluids, (3) learning paradigms in biological and artificial neuronal networks, and (4) stochastic modeling in biology at different scales. The conference will also highlight the most cutting-edge modeling approaches in the life sciences that combine data science techniques with the tools of applied and computational mathematics. Bringing together researchers working in these diverse fields will lead to important cross-pollination of ideas and new collaborations that may not otherwise be possible. Further, the conference would expose junior researchers (graduate and undergraduates students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career faculty) to these fundamental questions and the advanced inter-disciplinary tools for addressing these challenges, which they will use in their studies and future careers in science and technology.Conference web site: https://sites.google.com/njit.edu/facm2022/homeThis 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.
