Conference: Midwest Research Experience for Graduates (MREG) 2023

毕业生的中西部研究经验（MREG）是密歇根大学安阿伯的一个研讨会，从2023年7月24日至2023年8月4日。它旨在为纯数学和应用数学的早期研究生提供一个机会，通过在早期职业教师或行业专业人士的指导下学习和使用高等数学来体验研究环境。与此同时，我们的目标是促进和帮助围绕以多样性，公平和包容性（DEI）为中心的各种举措和问题展开对话。早期的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联系和合作，为他们的研究生职业生涯提供长期支持。此外，通过拥有具有类似经验的导师和榜样，参与者将形成更强的联系并获得宝贵的见解。该研讨会的结构是一个暑期学校，专注于复制研究经验，在文献综述和采取第一步解决新问题。将有五个研究项目：几何结构&、曲面上的曲线;图拟阵的虚拟欧拉特征;随机建模技术在交叉学科研究中的应用;分析和偏微分方程在交通流研究中的应用;插值与泛化的权衡。此外，还将举行全体会议和小组讨论，重点讨论数学中的多样性、公平性和包容性。全体会议将扩大人们对影响STEM代表性和代表性不足群体经验的各种主题的认识。DEI小组将侧重于向与会者提供相关建议和信息。MREG的网站是https://sites.google.com/umich.edu/mreg-2023/home.This奖，反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。

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.
