Conference: Midwest Research Experience for Graduates (MREG) 2023

中西部毕业生研究体验(MREG)是一个研讨会，于2023年7月24日至2023年8月4日在密歇根大学安娜堡分校举行。它旨在为纯数学和应用数学的早期研究生提供一个机会，在他们选择的项目上，在早期职业教师或行业专业人员的指导下，通过学习和使用高等数学来体验研究环境。与此同时，我们的目标是促进并帮助启动围绕多样性、公平和包容性(DEI)的各种倡议和问题的对话。早期研究生将与来自该地区的早期职业专业人士和其他研究生建立网络并进行合作，为他们的研究生职业生涯提供长期支持。此外，通过拥有具有相似共同经历的导师和榜样，参与者将形成更强大的联系，并获得无价的洞察力。研讨会的结构是暑期班，重点是复制研究经验，在文献回顾方面，并采取第一步来解决一个新的问题。将有五个研究项目：几何结构和曲面上的曲线；图形拟阵的虚拟欧拉特性；在跨学科研究中使用随机建模技术；使用分析和偏微分方程研究交通流；以及内插和泛化之间的权衡。此外，还将举行全体会议和小组讨论，重点讨论多样性、公平性和数学包容性等主题。全体会议将提高人们对影响STEM代表性不足群体的代表性和经验的各种议题的认识。经济和社会事务部小组将集中向与会者提供相关建议和信息。Https://sites.google.com/umich.edu/mreg-2023/home.This奖的网站反映了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。

The Midwest Research Experience for Graduates (MREG) is a workshop at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, from July 24 2023 to August 4, 2023. It is designed to provide early graduate students in pure and applied mathematics an opportunity to experience the research environment by learning and working with advanced mathematics under the guidance of an early-career faculty member or industry professional on a project of their choosing. At the same time, we aim to promote and help start conversations around various initiatives and issues centered on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Early graduate students will network and collaborate with early-career professionals and other graduate students from across the region, giving them long-term support in their graduate careers. Furthermore, by having mentors and role models with similar shared experiences, participants will form stronger connections and gain invaluable insight. The workshop is structured as a summer school focused on replicating the research experience, in terms of literature review and taking the first steps toward tackling a novel problem. There will be five research projects: Geometric structures & curves on surfaces; The virtual Euler characteristic for graphic matroids; Utilizing stochastic modeling techniques in interdisciplinary studies; Using analysis and PDE to study traffic flow; and Trade-off between interpolation and generalization. Additionally, there will be plenary talks and panels focusing on topics of diversity, equity, and inclusion in mathematics. The plenary talks will broaden awareness in various topics affecting the representation and the experiences of under-represented groups in STEM. The DEI panels will focus on providing relevant advice and information to participants.
