Conference: Student Support to Attend 17th US National Congress on Computational Mechanics; Albuquerque, New Mexico; 23-27 July 2023

该奖项为100名在美国学习的学生和博士后提供免费注册，参加将于2023年7月23日至27日在新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基举行的第17届美国全国计算力学大会（USNCCM17）。其目标是扩大研究生、博士后、来自代表性不足的社区和女性的参与者，以及渴望更多地了解计算力学这一广泛学科的本科生的参与。在选择过程中，将考虑纳入代表性不足的群体的成员，参与者所代表的机构的多样性，以及工程领域项目的多样性。其目的是培养对计算力学感兴趣的美国研究人员。美国计算力学全国大会（USNCCM）是美国计算力学协会（USACM）于1991年开始的两年一次的大会。USNCCM17与桑迪亚国家实验室的工作人员合作组织，将提供一个论坛，汇集来自世界各地的学术界，工业界，政府和实验室的学生，研究人员和从业人员，讨论与计算工程和科学相关的各个领域的最新进展和未来方向。会议有超过85个主题小型专题讨论会，包括计算力学和工程科学的广泛研究领域，以及代表当前重要的特殊主题的其他主题，包括数据驱动建模和机器学习，先进制造，气候建模和百亿亿次计算。大会的亮点包括全体会议和半全体会议演讲，主题演讲和定期演讲的小型研讨会，以及各行业和软件公司的产品展示。大会将包括女性研究人员的交流活动、学生海报竞赛、职业小组、资助机构信息会议，以及几门短期课程，讨论当前计算工程和科学领域感兴趣的主题的进展。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。

This award provides complimentary registration for 100 students and postdoctoral fellows studying in the US to attend the 17th US National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM17) which will be held 23-27 July 2023 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The objective is to broaden the participation from graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, participants from underrepresented communities and women, and undergraduate students that aspire to learn more about the broad discipline of computational mechanics. Consideration in the selection process will be given to the inclusion of members of underrepresented groups, diversity of institutions that the participants represent, and diversity of programs within engineering. The aim is to grow the pipeline of U.S. researchers interested in computational mechanics.The US National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM) has been the biennial congress of the US Association for Computational Mechanics (USACM) beginning in 1991. USNCCM17, organized in collaboration with staff from Sandia National Laboratories, will provide a forum for bringing together students, researchers, and practitioners from academia, industry, government, and laboratories from all over the world to discuss the latest advancements and future directions in various fields pertaining to computational engineering and sciences. With over 85 topical minisymposia, the conference includes research areas across the broad spectrum of computational mechanics and engineering science, as well as additional themes that represent special topics of current importance including data-driven modeling and machine learning, advanced manufacturing, climate modeling, and exascale computing. Congress highlights include plenary and semi-plenary lectures, minisymposia with keynote lectures and regular presentations, and product displays by various industries and software companies. The Congress will include a networking event for female researchers, a student poster competition, a career panel, a funding agency information session, and several short courses addressing advances in current topics of interest in computational engineering and science.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.
