Midwest Women in Mathematics Symposium

该奖项支持参加将于2017年4月8日在印第安纳大学-普渡大学印第安纳波利斯举行的第五届中西部女性数学研讨会（WIMS）。WIMS的目标是：(1)突出中西部地区女性数学家的学术贡献，(2)促进中西部地区女性数学家之间的合作、网络和师徒关系。WIMS每年在中西部的学院和大学之间轮流举办。研讨会汇集了来自中西部的女性数学家在他们的职业生涯的各个阶段。根据往届WIMS的出席人数，预计2017年将有150名与会者。研讨会由杰出的资深女教师进行2个小时的全体演讲，由有前途的年轻女教师和博士后研究员进行10个30分钟的邀请演讲。2017年WIMS学术会议的主题是几何和拓扑，动力系统和数学生物学。研究生和刚获得博士学位的学生将有机会在研讨会海报部分展示他们的作品。讲座和海报会议伴随着公开问题会议，在此期间，WIMS参与者以小组形式讨论具体领域的问题。这样的工作自然会导致其他中西部机构的参与者之间的后续访问和新的长期合作。有关研讨会的更多细节，请访问http://math.iupui.edu/~buse/WIMS-17/。

This award supports participation in the Fifth Annual Midwest Women in Mathematics Symposium (WIMS) to be held on April 8, 2017 at Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis. The aim of WIMS is: (i) to highlight the scholarly contributions of female mathematicians in the Midwest region, and (ii) to stimulate collaborations, networking, and mentoring relations among female mathematicians in the Midwest region. WIMS has been established as an annual event that rotates among colleges and universities in the Midwest. The Symposium brings together female mathematicians from across the Midwest at all stages of their careers. Based on attendance at previous WIMS, 150 participants are anticipated in 2017.The Symposium features two hour-long plenary lectures by distinguished senior female faculty members and ten thirty-minute invited lectures by promising female junior faculty and postdoctoral researchers. The topics of the academic sessions at WIMS 2017 are Geometry and Topology, Dynamical Systems, and Mathematical Biology. Graduate students and recent Ph.D.s have the opportunity to present their work at the Symposium Poster Session. The lectures and poster session are accompanied by open problem sessions, during which WIMS participants work in small groups to discuss field-specific problems. Such work will naturally lead to follow-up visits among the participants at other Midwest institutions and new long-term collaborations.
