Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics
Abstract
This international conference in applied and computational mathematics will be dedicated to pushing the frontiers of scientific computing, mathematical modeling and applications. The conference will be titled ~Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics~ and be held at Brown University on January 4-6, 2017. Twenty invited speakers, rangingfrom numerical analysts with a strong interest in applications, to applied and computational mathematicians, to engineers, will focus on the use of cutting edge numerical methods and mathematical analysis to tackle important physical applications.The invited speakers have done fundamental work in applied and computational work, and many of them are currently doing cutting edge research that is in the frontiers of what is known. Among the list of research topics represented by the speakers in numerical methods are: computational fluid dynamics, numerical methods for hyperbolic PDEs, multiscale methods, discontinuous Galerkin methods, stable time discretizations, spectral and high- order methods, finitedifference and finite volume ENO and WENO methods, fast-marching and level set methods and computationalmethods for kinetic problems. Application areas include, tsunami modeling , gas dynamics, astrophysics, modeling of semi-conductor devices, electromagnetic dynamics, fluid dynamics, geophysical problems, image processing. Through this combination of theory, computation, and application the conference will highlight the role of significant mathematics in the design of advanced algorithms applicable to real world problems. The diverse set of topics represented by the speakers will naturally lead to cross pollination of ideas across a variety of fields and push forward the frontiers in applied and computational mathematics. To further promote this, the conference will include moderated discussion and panel sessions where participants explore the frontiers of different research areas and possibilities of new connections between areas. This conference will actively promote participationof young researchers (including students) and provide opportunities and guidance in identifying potential problems for study. To this end, the conference will include a poster session in which young researchers (including students) will present their work in this area, and senior attendees and invited speakers will be strongly encouraged to join the poster session and give constructive feedback. Of major importance to the organizers is the focus on increasing racial and gender diversity in the field, and encouraging young researchers. To this end, the organizers are committed to encouraging young minority and womenresearchers by providing targeted advertising of the conference to ensure that a diverse group of young researchers is aware of the funding available for the conference. In particular, we will advertise the conference through relevant groups (such as AWM, NAM, Tapia Center) and to colleagues at HBCUs. Generous funding will be available for students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty. As part of the conference, personal contacts with the organizers andthe planned discussion sessions will expose young researchers to new and exciting research directions and help them network and form collaborations. The conference will include many network building opportunities, with a special focus on the women in numerical analysis and scientific computing (WiNASC).
