Workshop on Modern Perspectives in Applied Mathematics; New York City, NY

该奖项为2009年5月18日至22日在法国Courant数学科学研究所举行的应用数学现代观点研讨会提供旅费。会议汇集了随机和多尺度建模领域的领先专家，讨论了最近的进展在多大程度上促进了该领域的进一步发展，以及解决开放问题的可能攻击路线。会议讨论的具体主题包括：(1)随机偏微分方程、流体、平均场博弈、燃烧和随机介质中的偏微分方程的进展。(2)大型动力系统中消除不相关自由度的随机建模技术的进展，以及合适粗粒度变量的有效系统的推导。(3)复杂系统中信息流量化方法的研究进展，如贝叶斯分层建模和卡尔曼型降阶滤波策略。该计划包括主题演讲，年轻研究人员的演讲，以及夜间海报会议。为期三天的会议为研究生和年轻的研究人员提供了展示他们工作的机会，了解最近的进展和开放的问题，并与快速发展领域的其他工作人员会面。会议网址：http://www.cims.nyu.edu/events/special/

This award supports participant travel for the Workshop on Modern Perspectives in Applied Mathematics, held at the Courant Institute of the Mathematical Sciences, 18-22 May 2009. The conference brings together leading experts in stochastic and multi-scale modeling to discuss the extent to which recent advances have enabled further progress in the field and possible lines of attack for open problems.Specific themes discussed at the conference include:(1) Advances in stochastic partial differential equations, fluids, mean-field games, combustion, and partial differential equations in random media.(2) Advances in stochastic modeling techniques for the elimination of irrelevant degrees of freedom in large dynamical systems and the derivation of effective systems for suitable coarse-grained variables.(3) Advances in approaches for quantifying information flow in complex systems, such as Bayesian hierarchical modeling and reduced-order filtering strategies of Kalman type.The program features keynote addresses, presentations by young researchers, and an evening poster session. The three-day meeting provides graduate students and young researchers with opportunities to present their work, to learn about recent progress and open problems, and to meet other workers in the rapidly-developing field.Conference web site:http://www.cims.nyu.edu/events/special/
