Eighth Annual Graduate Student Mini-conference in Computational Mathematics; Clemson, SC; February 5-6, 2016

该基金支持第八届年度“计算数学研究生小型会议”，该会议将于2016年2月5日和6日在克莱姆森大学举行。会议涵盖的主题包括偏微分方程数值方法的理论和实现的最新进展，包括多相流，多孔介质，随机偏微分方程的数值方法，湍流，流体动力学，气候模拟和偏微分方程约束优化。除了一名全体发言人外，所有的演讲都将由研究生进行。来自克莱姆森、弗吉尼亚理工大学、匹兹堡大学、奥本大学、南卡罗来纳大学、佛罗里达州立大学、田纳西大学和埃默里大学的大约20名研究生将发表科学研究演讲，内容涉及科学和工程中的数学建模，以及对建模方程的严格分析和有效实施的数值方法。会议组织者强烈鼓励弱势群体的参与，预计近一半的研究生演讲者将来自弱势群体。会议的目标是给研究生一个机会进行专业的科学演讲，把研究生和研究人员（他们的导师）聚集在一起讨论合作研究项目，并在许多具有挑战性的研究领域交流新的想法。

This grant supports the eighth annual "Graduate Student mini-Conference in Computational Mathematics" which will be held at Clemson University on February 5 and 6, 2016. Topics covered in the conference consist of recent advances in the theory and implementation of numerical methods for partial differential equations, including multiphase flow, porous media, numerical methods for stochastic PDEs, turbulence, fluid dynamics, climate simulation and PDE constrained optimization. Aside from one plenary speaker, all talks will be given by graduate students. Approximately twenty graduate students from Clemson, Virginia Tech, the University of Pittsburgh, Auburn University, the University of South Carolina, Florida State University, the University of Tennessee, and Emory University will present scientific research talks involving mathematical modeling in science and engineering, and rigorous analysis and efficient implementation of numerical methods for the modeling equations. The conference organizers strongly encourage participation of under-represented groups, and it is expected that nearly half of the graduate student speakers will be from an under-represented group. The goals of the conference are to give graduate students an opportunity to give a professional scientific talk, to bring graduate students and researchers (their advisors) together to discuss collaborative research projects, and to exchange new ideas in many challenging research areas.
