EMSW21-RTG: UCSB RTG in Topology and Geometry

这个RTG项目涉及UCSB拓扑和几何小组的成员，PI Daryl Cooper、戴先哲、Darren Long、Marty Scharlemann、郭芳和Dave Morison(高级人员)，以及由Mike Freedman领导的Microsoft Station Q提供的额外培训和实习机会，包括Matt Hastings、Kevin Walker和王正汉。该项目旨在为圣巴巴拉的博士后和研究生提供丰富的几何和拓扑学培训经验。该项目将资助三名研究生和两名博士后研究员，以及三名本科生，贯穿整个学年的大部分时间。此外，PIS将制定一个丰富的课程，其中包括一个迷你课程计划，以及该小组有机会参加夏季REU的几何和拓扑学主题，将向全国的本科生开放。多年来，该小组付出了巨大的努力，其重点是建议和指导，为研究生和博士后建立一个支持性的、激发智力的环境；他们希望利用RTG计划进一步改进该计划。有了RTG资金，PI将能够在研究生和博士后层面提供丰富的学术和更广泛的研究和教学经验。它将用于新博士确立自己作为研究人员和教育工作者，并供研究生通过建立新的迷你课程和实习机会来扩大他们在几何和拓扑学方面的教育。有才华和上进心的本科生将通过REU计划招募到该项目，特别强调加强该组织在女性中本已出色的记录，以及吸引来自文化多元化地区(即南加州)的学生。

This RTG project involves the members of topology and geometry group at UCSB, with PIs Daryl Cooper, Xianzhe Dai, Darren Long, Marty Scharlemann, Guofang Wei, and Dave Morrison (senior personnel), and with additional training and internship opportunity provided by Microsoft Station Q headed by Mike Freedman, including Matt Hastings, Kevin Walker and Zhenghan Wang. The project aims to offer an enriched training experience in geometry and topology at the post-doctoral and graduate student levels in Santa Barbara. The program will fund three graduate students and two post-doctoral fellows as well as three undergraduate students throughout most of the academic year. In addition, the PIs will put in place an enriched curriculum which includes a program of minicourses as well as the opportunity for this group to participate in a summer REU in topics in geometry and topology which will be open to undergraduates across the country. The group has made great efforts over the years with its emphasis upon advising and mentoring to build a supportive, intellectually stimulating environment for graduate students and post-docs; they hope to use the RTG program to improve the program still further.With the RTG funds the PIs will be able to offer an enriched academic more broadly based research and teaching experience at both the graduate and post-doctoral levels. It will be used for new PhDs to establish themselves as reseachers and educators and for graduate students to broaden their education in geometry and topology through a research program augmented by establishing new mini-courses and internship opportunities. Talented and motivated undergraduates will be recruited to the program through the REU program, with special emphasis directed towards enhancing the group's already excellent record with women, as well as drawing on students from a culturally diverse area, namely Southern California.
