Conference on Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics

该奖项支持本科生和研究生、博士后、初级教师和其他研究人员参加2019年5月23日至24日在新泽西理工学院（NJIT）举行的“应用与计算数学前沿”（FACM）会议。FACM 2019专注于涉及流体中颗粒的系统的数学和应用挑战。这个主题的动机是最近在这些系统的离散和连续建模领域取得的重大进展，以及在物理学、生物学和工程学科的相关领域。这些系统与许多应用相关，包括材料科学、能源应用以及健康和医学。我们还设想将重点放在高性能计算上，这是该领域研究的组成部分。该会议今年与第十一届东北复杂流体和软物质研讨会联合举办，将包括网络和计算拓扑在颗粒系统中的应用，以及悬浮液、活性物质和相关材料科学系统的小型专题讨论会。这次会议将汇集数学家、科学家和工程师，并有大量初级研究人员参加。更多信息可访问会议网站http://m.njit.edu/Events/FACM19/.The FACM系列会议是由NJIT数学科学系和应用数学与统计中心在过去15年中组织的。年会是一个传播应用和计算数学及统计学研究成果的论坛。FACM会议比大型学会会议更集中，更以学生为中心，组织者的目标是向已建立的研究人员和新兴研究领域介绍应用数学和工程学科的未来领导者。今年特别重要的是，要有大批通常参加NCS研讨会的本地初级研究人员参加。年轻的研究人员将有机会通过海报和演讲展示他们的工作，他们将与顶尖科学家一起在小型研讨会上发表演讲。对于学生和博士后来说，这将是一次学习和交流的经历，有助于他们的研究和职业发展。将作出特别努力，继续使代表性不足的群体参加会议。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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 supports the participation of undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, junior faculty, and other researchers in a conference on "Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics" (FACM) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) on May 23 - 24, 2019. FACM 2019 is focused on mathematical and applications challenges related to systems involving particles in fluids, broadly interpreted. This topic is motivated by the significant recent progress that has been made in areas of discrete and continuum modeling of such systems, as well as in related fields within physics, biology, and the engineering disciplines. These systems are of relevance to a number of applications including materials science, energy applications, as well as health and medicine. We also envision a significant focus on high-performance computing which is integral part of the research in this field. The conference, which is this year carried out jointly with the 11th Northeast Complex Fluids and Soft Matter Workshop, will include mini-symposia on applications of networks and computational topology to granular systems, as well as on suspensions, active matter, and related materials science systems. The conference will bring together mathematicians, scientists and engineers, with significant participation of junior researchers. More information can be found on the conference website http://m.njit.edu/Events/FACM19/.The FACM conference series has been organized over the past fifteen years by the Department of Mathematical Sciences and Center for Applied Mathematics and Statistics at NJIT. The annual meeting is a forum for the dissemination of research in applied and computational mathematics and statistics. FACM conferences are more focused and student centered than large society meetings, and a goal of the organizers is to introduce future leaders in applied mathematics and engineering disciplines to established investigators and emerging research areas. Participation of a large number of local junior researchers who typically attend NCS workshops will be particularly important this year. The junior researchers will have a chance to present their work through posters and contributed talks which they will present in minisymposia alongside leading scientists. For students and postdocs, this will be a learning and networking experience that will help them with their research and career paths. Special efforts will be made to continue the participation underrepresented groups in the conference.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.
