Conference: Summer Geometry Initiative

该奖项支持2023年夏季几何倡议(SGI)的在线发布，该活动将于2023年7月10日至8月18日在线举行。SGI是一个为期六周的项目，支持一批本科生和早期硕士学生进入几何加工研究。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；不需要任何背景或先前的经验。在剩下的几周里，参与者将在这一学科的教师和研究科学家的领导下，以小组形式进行研究项目，同时参加由访问研究人员领导的讲座和其他会议。SGI旨在更广泛地扩大申请与几何处理和应用数学相关的博士课程和就业的学生群体；它在增加社区新成员的规模和多样性方面有着长期的记录。几何处理具有长期的突破性发展历史，指导了计算机视觉、加法制造、科学计算和其他学科的3D工具设计。几何处理的算法结合了包括微分几何、拓扑学、物理模拟、统计和优化在内的学科的思想。SGI的教程和研究为SGI研究员和其他参与者带来了这一新兴学科中最新的最新想法，并将它们介绍给该领域的领导者，他们与他们在探索性研究项目上进行合作。网站：https://sgi.mit.edu/This奖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。

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.
