PostDoctoral Research Fellowship

该奖项是作为2018财年数学科学博士后研究奖学金计划的一部分。每项研究金在一名赞助科学家的指导下，支持在一个东道机构进行的数学科学研究和培训项目，包括应用于其他学科。该项目的标题为这个奖学金莎拉坎农是“马尔可夫链的数学基础”。该奖学金的主办机构是加州大学伯克利分校，赞助科学家是Alistair Sinclair。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award is made as part of the FY 2018 Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships Program. Each of the fellowships supports a research and training project at a host institution in the mathematical sciences, including applications to other disciplines, under the mentorship of a sponsoring scientist. The title of the project for this fellowship to Sarah Cannon is " Mathematical Foundations of Markov Chains". The host institution for the fellowship is the University of California, Berkeley and the sponsoring scientist is Alistair Sinclair.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
