28th Annual Pacific Northwest Numerical Analysis Seminar 2015 at Western Washington University

该奖项支持参加2015年10月17日在西华盛顿大学举行的第28届太平洋西北数值分析研讨会（PNWNAS）。在过去的27年里，PNWNAS已经成为本地数值计算研究团体进行科学交流的主要手段之一。2015年PNWNAS邀请了来自工业界、政府和学术界的演讲者，将帮助与会者了解计算数学和数值分析领域的最新发展，从而促进研究互动，进一步促进区域和全球的数学创新。其中一个受邀讲座将是一个指定的公共演讲，可供更广泛的观众对公共利益的主题，如在社会科学建模。这将使贝灵汉的科学界和公众受益。该奖项将通过向传统上代表性不足的群体提供一些专门的财政支持，鼓励和支持他们的参与。 将涵盖广泛的跨学科研究课题，包括生物学，化学工程，流体力学，医学和材料科学等应用领域的大型复杂系统的数学建模和数值模拟。 主题还包括数值线性代数，多尺度建模和仿真，随机过程，逆问题和图像处理。主要由研究生和博士后研究员提交的海报会议将为早期研究人员提供展示其学术成就的机会。PNWNAS 2015的目标包括：促进来自学术界、工业界和政府机构的计算数学团体在广泛的科学和技术领域的科学互动;促进区域和全球的数学创新;促进可能为博士后、研究生和本科生带来区域就业和实习机会的互动;并吸引未来的学生进入太平洋西北地区的计算和应用数学高等教育计划。

This award supports participation in the 28th Pacific Northwest Numerical Analysis Seminar (PNWNAS), held at Western Washington University, October 17, 2015. As an annual event for the past twenty-seven years, PNWNAS has become one of the primary means for local research groups in numerical computation to engage in scientific exchanges. With invited speakers from industry, government, and academia, PNWNAS 2015 will help keep its participants abreast of recent developments in the field of computational mathematics and numerical analysis, hence fostering research interactions and further promoting mathematical innovation regionally as well as globally. One of the invited lectures will be a designated public presentation accessible to a broader audience on a subject of public interest, such as modeling in the social sciences. This will benefit both the scientific community and the general public in Bellingham. This award will encourage and support the involvement of traditionally underrepresented groups by providing some exclusive financial support for them. A broad range of interdisciplinary research topics will be covered, including mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of large-scale complex systems in applied fields, such as biology, chemical engineering, fluid mechanics, medical science, and materials science. Topics will also include numerical linear algebra, multi-scale modeling and simulation, stochastic processes, inverse problems, and image processing. Poster sessions presented mainly by graduate students and postdoctoral fellows will provide early-stage researchers with an opportunity to showcase their academic achievements. The goals of PNWNAS 2015 include: to foster the scientific interaction of computational mathematics groups from academia, industry, and government agencies working in a broad range of science and technology; to promote mathematical innovation regionally as well as globally; to facilitate interactions that potentially lead to regional employment and internship opportunities for postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduates; and to attract prospective students into the Pacific Northwest's higher education programs in computational and applied mathematics.
