Symposium on Mathematical Aspects of Materials Science - Modeling, Analysis, and Computations 2019

材料科学现象建模的进一步发展和下一代跨学科科学家的培训对于保持美国在科学和技术方面的领导地位至关重要。该奖项为参加题为“材料科学的数学方面-建模，分析和计算”的研讨会的参与者提供支持，该研讨会将于2019年4月22日至26日在亚利桑那州凤凰城举行的材料研究学会2019年春季会议和展览期间举行。为期四天的研讨会将邀请20位杰出的数学家和材料科学家发表演讲，研究他们学科交叉的问题。邀请的报告将由两族成员提供多达50份报告作为补充；预计这些讲座中有相当一部分将由处于职业生涯早期阶段的研究人员进行。这将为学生和初级研究人员提供一个独特的网络和培训机会，让他们与在材料数学前沿工作的高级同行进行互动。该奖项的资金将用于支持来自科学界各个领域的不同群体的早期职业参与者，包括女性和少数族裔。有机会在重要的材料科学会议上发表演讲，展示他们的研究成果，并有机会发展新的跨学科合作，这将是年轻数学家职业发展的重要一步。研讨会将涵盖广泛的主题感兴趣的更大的材料科学界。主要的焦点将是与材料的结构缺陷和相变、微观结构和图案形成、均质化以及不同尺度下材料描述之间的关系有关的问题。从数学的角度来看，研讨会上讨论的问题将在非线性分析、建模和计算的框架下进行。在研讨会上，前沿材料科学和现代数学的结合为通过思想的交叉渗透进一步推进这两个学科的研究提供了一个强有力的机会。详情可在https://www.mrs.org/spring2019/symposium-sessions/symposium-sessions-detail?code=CP09This上找到，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。

Further developments in modeling of materials science phenomena and training of the next generation of interdisciplinary scientists are of critical importance to maintaining U.S. leadership in science and technology. This award provides support for participants in a symposium entitled "Mathematical Aspects of Materials Science - Modeling, Analysis, and Computations," to be held during the Materials Research Society 2019 Spring Meeting and Exhibit in Phoenix, Arizona on April 22-26, 2019. The four-day symposium will feature twenty invited presentations by leading mathematicians and materials scientists working on problems at the intersection of their disciplines. The invited presentations will be complemented by up to fifty contributed presentations from the members of both communities; it is anticipated that a significant number of these talks will be given by researchers in early stages of their careers. This will offer a unique networking and training opportunity for students and junior researchers to interact with their senior counterparts working at the cutting edge of the mathematics of materials. The funding from this award will be used to support a diverse group of early-career participants from all parts of the scientific community, including women and minorities. The opportunity to expose their research by presenting a contributed talk at the premier materials science gathering and a chance to develop new interdisciplinary collaborations would be an important step in a career development for young mathematicians. The symposium will cover a wide range of topics of interest to the larger materials science community. The principal focus will be on problems related to structural defects and phase transitions in materials, microstructure and pattern formation, homogenization, and the relationship between descriptions of materials at different scales. From the mathematical perspective, the issues discussed at the symposium will come under the umbrella of nonlinear analysis, modeling, and computations. The combination of cutting edge materials science and modern mathematics at the symposium offers a strong chance to further advance research in both disciplines through cross-penetration of ideas.
