Conference: Summer Geometry Initiative

该奖项支持将于2023年7月10日至8月18日在线举行的2023年夏季几何计划（SGI）。 SGI是一个为期六周的计划，支持一批本科生和早期硕士生进入几何处理研究。 在SGI的第一周，参与者将参加介绍几何处理理论和实践的实践教程;不需要背景或以前的经验。 在剩下的几周里，参与者将在该学科的教师和研究科学家领导的研究项目团队中工作，同时参加由访问研究人员领导的讲座和其他会议。 SGI致力于扩大申请几何处理和应用数学相关博士课程的学生群体，并在增加社区新成员的规模和多样性方面拥有悠久的历史。几何处理有着悠久的突破性发展历史，指导了计算机视觉，增材制造，科学计算和其他学科的3D工具的设计。 几何处理的算法结合了联合收割机的思想，包括微分几何、拓扑学、物理模拟、统计学和优化。 SGI的指导和研究项目为SGI研究员和其他参与者提供了这一新兴学科的最新思想，并将其介绍给该领域的领导者，与他们合作进行探索性研究项目。网站：https://sgi.mit.edu/This奖项反映了NSF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 supports the 2023 offering of the Summer Geometry Initiative (SGI), to be held online July 10-August 18, 2023. SGI is a six-week program supporting a cohort of undergraduates and early master's students in entering research in geometry processing. In the first week of SGI, participants will attend hands-on tutorials introducing the theory and practice of geometry processing; no background or previous experience is necessary. During the remaining weeks, participants will work in teams on research projects led by faculty and research scientists in this discipline, while attending talks and other sessions led by visiting researchers. SGI aims to broaden the pool of students applying for PhD programs and employment related to geometry processing and applied mathematics more broadly; it has a long track record of increasing the size and diversity of the pool of new members of the community.Geometry processing has a long history of breakthrough developments that have guided design of 3D tools for computer vision, additive manufacturing, scientific computing, and other disciplines. Algorithms for geometry processing combine ideas from disciplines including differential geometry, topology, physical simulation, statistics, and optimization. The tutorials and research in SGI bring SGI Fellows and other participants up-to-date with state-of-the-art ideas in this emerging discipline and introduce them to leaders in the field with whom they collaborate on exploratory research projects.Website: https://sgi.mit.edu/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.
