Summer Geometry Initiative 2022

该奖项为2022年夏季几何倡议（SGI）提供支持，这是一个为期六周的夏季研讨会，将大量学生带入几何处理和相关研究学科。大约30名SGI研究员将完成为期一周的几何处理研究实践强化培训，随后将与该领域的顶尖研究人员合作五周，进行客座讲座，指导研究生入学，并相互交流；另外一组学生被邀请参加最初的辅导周。该项目旨在拓宽几何处理研究经验，目标是来自不同背景、地理位置和机构的研究员，重点关注那些不太可能接触到这一前沿学科的学生。研究员可获得津贴，以减低参加工作坊的机会成本。SGI 2022旨在将SGI发展成为几何处理社区的支持者，并作为计算和数学学科的模型计划，寻求扩大未来几代研究人员的多样性。除了社区建设，SGI研究员还将利用微分几何、偏微分方程、最优运输、数值分析和优化等数学学科的工具，解决影响数字制造、虚拟现实、物理模拟、建筑和自动驾驶等应用的现实世界研究问题。更多信息可以在该项目网站上找到：https://sgi.mit.edu/This该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过基金会的智力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 provides support for the 2022 Summer Geometry Initiative (SGI), a six-week summer workshop bringing a broad pool of students into geometry processing and related research disciplines. A cohort of roughly 30 SGI Fellows will complete a week of intensive training in geometry processing research practices, followed by five weeks of collaboration with top researchers in the field, guest lectures, guidance on graduate admissions, and interaction with one another; an additional group of students is invited to participate in only the initial tutorial week. Designed to broaden access to geometry processing research experiences, the program targets Fellows drawn from a diverse set of backgrounds, geographic locations, and institutions, with a focus on students otherwise unlikely to have access to this cutting-edge discipline. Fellows receive stipends to alleviate the opportunity cost of participating in the workshop.The SGI 2022 offering aims to develop SGI as a supporter of the geometry processing community and as a model program for computational and mathematical disciplines seeking to broaden the diversity of future generations of researchers. Beyond community-building, SGI Fellows will tackle real-world research problems affecting applications like digital manufacturing, virtual reality, physical simulation, architecture, and autonomous driving using tools drawn from mathematical disciplines including differential geometry, partial differential equations, optimal transport, numerical analysis, and optimization.
