Mathematical and Computational Aspects of Materials Science

材料科学不断为我们的生活方式带来改变游戏规则的进步，应用和计算数学学科对这些发展越来越重要。在这种令人兴奋的协同作用的推动下，材料科学的数学和计算方面的研讨会将于2014年12月1日至2014年12月4日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的材料研究学会2014年秋季会议上举行。研讨会将汇集在材料科学，数学和计算科学之间的接口工作的调查人员。这个NSF补助金将支持研究生和早期职业研究人员出席并参加这次研讨会。这次研讨会提供了一个特殊的机会，增加多样性和参与的广度，积极参与更广泛的基础，年轻的应用数学家比在更标准的研讨会格式。这种研讨会形式允许研究生和年轻的研究人员直接与来自材料科学和应用数学前沿的跨学科问题的更大的研究社区互动。这一特点增加了妇女、残疾人和代表性不足的少数群体在STEM领域的多样性和充分参与。它暴露了研究生和早期职业应用数学家当代和基本的理论问题，挑战材料科学，使未来的突破，通过跨学科的合作。在材料科学的数学和计算方面的专题讨论会的科学目标将在2014年秋季MRS会议在波士顿马萨诸塞州将：1。促进应用数学家和材料科学家之间的新的科学合作，以解决材料科学前沿的当代问题。通过让研究生和早期职业应用数学家接触挑战材料科学的当代和基础理论问题，增加STEM领域参与的多样性和广度;通过跨学科合作实现未来的突破。使具有材料科学学科专业知识的研究人员了解最新的应用数学和计算框架，有助于解决材料科学中具有挑战性的问题。

Materials science consistently delivers game changing advances in the way we live and the disciplines of applied and computational mathematics are increasingly central to these developments. Motivated by this exciting synergy the Symposium on Mathematical and Computational Aspects of Materials Science will be held from 12/1/2014 through 12/4/2014 at the Materials Research Society Fall 2014 Meeting in Boston Massachusetts. The symposium will bring together investigators working at the interface between materials science, mathematics and computational science. This NSF Grant will support graduate students and early career researchers to attend and participate in this symposium. The symposium offers a special opportunity for increasing diversity and breadth of participation by actively engaging a much broader base of younger applied mathematicians than in more standard symposium formats. This symposium format allows graduate students and young investigators to directly interact with the greater research community on interdisciplinary problems coming from the frontiers of materials science and applied mathematics. This feature increases diversity and full participation of women, persons with disabilities, and underrepresented minorities in STEM fields. It exposes graduate students and early career applied mathematicians to contemporary and fundamental theoretical problems challenging materials science; enabling future breakthroughs through interdisciplinary collaboration.The scientific goals of the Symposium on Mathematical and Computational Aspects of Materials Science to be held at the 2014 MRS Fall 2014 Meeting in Boston Massachusetts will be to:1. To foster new scientific collaborations between applied mathematicians and materials scientists in order to address contemporary problems at the frontiers of materials science.2. Increase diversity and breadth of participation in STEM fields by exposing graduate students and early career applied mathematicians to contemporary and fundamental theoretical problems challenging materials science; enabling future breakthroughs through interdisciplinary collaboration.3. To expose investigators with expertise in materials science disciplines to the latest applied mathematical and computational frameworks useful for the solution of challenging problems in materials science.
