This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). PI Biji Wong is awarded a National Science Foundation Mathematical and Physical Sciences Ascending Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (NSF MPS-Ascend) to conduct a program of research and activities related to broadening participation by groups underrepresented in STEM. This fellowship to Dr. Wong supports the research project entitled "MPS-Ascend: Topics in Low-Dimensional Topology and Heegaard Floer Theory," under the mentorship of a sponsoring scientist. The host institution for the fellowship is Duke University, and the sponsoring scientist is Dr. Adam Levine.Building on her prior research, the PI plans to use bordered Floer theory to study sliceness of satellite knots as well as categorification of invariants of three-orbifolds. Other projects include using Heegaard Floer homology to understand double covers of the three-sphere branched over links and generalization of the slice-ribbon conjecture in the setting of links. To broaden participation, the PI plans to collaboratively set up virtual Directed Reading Programs at HBCUs, including North Carolina Central University, help organize a mentoring cluster for minority women mathematicians in the North Carolina area, and form partnerships with the Math Alliance network as well as R1 mathematics departments.This 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.

该奖项全部或部分由《2021年美国救援计划法案》（公法117-2）资助。PI Biji Wong被授予美国国家科学基金会数学与物理科学提升博士后研究奖学金（NSF MPS-Ascend），以开展有关扩大STEM中代表性不足群体参与的研究和活动项目。黄博士的研究项目名为“MPS-Ascend: Topics in Low-Dimensional Topology and heegard flower Theory”，由一位赞助科学家指导。该奖学金的主办机构是杜克大学，赞助科学家是亚当·莱文博士。在她之前研究的基础上，PI计划使用边界花理论来研究卫星结的切片性以及三轨道不变量的分类。其他项目包括利用Heegaard Floer同源性来理解三球分支在连杆上的双重覆盖，以及在连杆设置下的切片带猜想的推广。为了扩大参与，PI计划在包括北卡罗来纳中央大学在内的hbcu合作建立虚拟定向阅读项目，帮助组织北卡罗来纳地区少数族裔女性数学家的指导集群，并与数学联盟网络以及R1数学系建立伙伴关系。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，被认为值得支持。
