Travel: New Statistical Physics of Living Matter: non-equilibrium states under adaptive control

该旅行奖支持美国初级和高级研究人员参加2023年7月至12月在英国剑桥大学艾萨克·牛顿数学科学研究所举行的“生物物质的新统计物理学：自适应控制下的非平衡状态”项目。该计划将在广泛的研究人员之间发起关于生物系统的基础物理和数学建模的讨论，重点是活跃的、远离平衡的特性以及这些特性对自适应控制的影响。该研究的跨学科性质可以影响从材料科学与工程、物理学、应用数学、生物学到医学的各个领域。100多名参与者中约有三分之一将来自美国机构，其中包括10-15名初级研究人员。该项目包括四个为期一周的研讨会，通常由24个受邀和15-20个参与的讲座组成，强调年轻科学家和未被充分代表的群体的代表性。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 travel award supports the participation of junior and senior US researchers in the program “New statistical physics in living matter: non equilibrium states under adaptive control” that takes place July-December 2023 at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences of the University of Cambridge, UK. The program will initiate discussions among a wide range of researchers about the fundamental physics and mathematical modeling of biological systems, with a focus on active, far-from-equilibrium properties and the consequences of these for adaptive control. The interdisciplinary nature of the research can impact a variety of fields from materials science and engineering, physics, applied mathematics, biology to medicine. About one third of the more than 100 participants will be from US institutions, including 10-15 junior researchers. The program includes four week-long workshops, consisting of typically 24 invited and 15-20 contributed talks that emphasize representation of younger scientists and underrepresented groups.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.
