Conference on Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics (FACM-2022): New Perspectives in Mathematical Biology

该奖项支持研究生和本科生、初级教师和博士后研究员参加2022年5月20-21日在新泽西州纽瓦克新泽西理工学院(NJIT)举行的应用和计算数学前沿会议(FACM-2022)：数学生物学的新视角会议。这次会议将使研究人员齐聚一堂，他们将使用先进的数学建模工具来解决从细胞生物学到生物种群集体行为等生命科学中的各种问题，使他们能够分享想法并形成跨学科的新联系，以解决具有广泛科学和社会重要性的挑战性问题。这次会议将接待大约100名与会者，其中至少70%的与会者包括学生、博士后和职业生涯早期的教师。旅行支持将特别针对初级研究人员的参与，特别是那些来自数学和生命科学中代表性不足的群体的研究人员，帮助他们的职业发展。这次会议是每年在NJIT举行的年度会议“应用和计算数学的前沿”(FACM)的一部分。自2004年举行第一次FACM会议以来的这些年里。今年的会议将聚焦于生命科学中数学和计算建模的几个具体但足够广泛的领域，跨越多个组织层次：(1)大规模生物种群中的紧急集体行为，(2)生物流体研究中的机器学习和数据科学方法，(3)生物和人工神经元网络中的学习范式，以及(4)不同尺度上的生物学随机建模。会议还将突出生命科学中最尖端的建模方法，这些方法将数据科学技术与应用数学和计算数学工具相结合。将在这些不同领域工作的研究人员聚集在一起，将带来重要的思想交叉授粉和新的合作，否则可能是不可能的。此外，会议将使初级研究人员(研究生和本科生、博士后研究员和早期职业教师)接触到这些基本问题和应对这些挑战的先进跨学科工具，他们将在他们的学习和未来的科学技术职业生涯中使用这些工具。会议网站：https://sites.google.com/njit.edu/facm2022/homeThis奖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。

This award supports participation of graduate and undergraduate students, junior faculty and postdoctoral fellows in the Conference on Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics (FACM-2022): New Perspectives in Mathematical Biology conference, held May 20-21, 2022, at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) in Newark, New Jersey. This conference will bring together researchers applying advanced mathematical modeling tools to diverse problems in the life sciences ranging from cell biology to collective behavior of biological populations, allowing them to share ideas and form new connections across disciplines to tackle challenging problems of broad scientific and societal importance. The conference will host approximately 100 participants, with at least 70% of attendees comprising students, postdocs, and early-career faculty. Travel support will be specifically targeted to support the participation of junior researchers, particularly those from groups under-represented in mathematics and the life sciences, helping in the advancement of their career paths.This conference is part of the series of annual conferences “Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics'' (FACM) held annually at NJIT. In the years since the first FACM meeting, held in 2004. This year the conference will focus on several specific but sufficiently broad areas of mathematical and computational modeling in the life sciences, spanning multiple levels of organization: (1) emergent collective behavior in large biological populations, (2) machine learning and data-science approaches in the study of biofluids, (3) learning paradigms in biological and artificial neuronal networks, and (4) stochastic modeling in biology at different scales. The conference will also highlight the most cutting-edge modeling approaches in the life sciences that combine data science techniques with the tools of applied and computational mathematics. Bringing together researchers working in these diverse fields will lead to important cross-pollination of ideas and new collaborations that may not otherwise be possible. Further, the conference would expose junior researchers (graduate and undergraduates students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career faculty) to these fundamental questions and the advanced inter-disciplinary tools for addressing these challenges, which they will use in their studies and future careers in science and technology.Conference web site: https://sites.google.com/njit.edu/facm2022/homeThis 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.
