NSF-SIAM Minisymposium on the NSF DMREF Program

多机构材料基因组促进全球竞争力倡议(MGI)由白宫科学和技术政策办公室确定的优先事项演变而来，其基础是认识到材料在技术和整个社会中的重要性。NSF的“设计材料改变和设计我们的未来”(DMREF)计划是NSF参与国家MGI的主要计划。该项目支持参加为期一天的研讨会的与会者的旅费：美国工业与应用数学学会(SIAM)关于NSF DMREF计划的小型研讨会；详情请参见http://www.siam.org/meetings/ms18/。本次研讨会将于2018年7月10日在俄勒冈州波特兰举行的SIAM材料科学数学方面会议(SIAM-MS18)上举行，时间为2018年7月9日至13日。研讨会的目标是突出DMREF计划在跨学科材料科学领域支持的最近和当前成功的项目。研讨会将有助于提高应用数学界对DMREF项目的特点和机会的认识。特别是，SIAM的研究人员将看到DMREF的两种参与方式：作为数学主导的提案的首席调查人员，或者作为由材料科学家和非数学系的工程师领导的提案的参与者。预计研讨会将挖掘数学界为尚未实现的MGI做出贡献的潜力。这包括几个不同的数学领域，这些领域通常被视为“数学材料科学”，例如最优化、图像分析、数据科学和统计学。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The multi-agency Materials Genome Initiative for Global Competitiveness (MGI) evolved from priorities set by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and was based on a recognition of the importance of materials in technology and to society at large. The NSF program "Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer our Future" (DMREF) is the primary program by which NSF participates in the national MGI. This project supports travel expenses for participants of a one day symposium: NSF-Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Minisymposium on the NSF DMREF Program; see http://www.siam.org/meetings/ms18/ for the detail. This Symposium will be held on July 10, 2018 at the SIAM Conference on Mathematical Aspects of Materials Science (SIAM-MS18) in Portland, Oregon, July 9-13, 2018. The goal of the symposium is to highlight the recent and current successful projects supported by the DMREF Program in the area of interdisciplinary materials science. The symposium will serve to raise awareness in the applied mathematics community of the features and opportunities of the DMREF program. In particular, SIAM researchers will see two avenues of DMREF participation: as Principal Investigators on mathematics-led proposals or as participants on proposals led by materials scientists and engineers from non-mathematical departments. It is expected that the symposium will tap the potential for the mathematics community to contribute to MGI that has not yet been realized. This includes several diverse mathematical domains outside of those that are typically regarded as "mathematical materials science," for example, optimization, image analysis, and data science and statistics.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.
