OUTLINE
A workshop on “Frontiers of Interdisciplinary Mathematics” will be held on May 9–11, 2017, sponsored by the Center for Interdisciplinary Mathematics and by the
Center for Mathematics of Living and Mimetic Matter, Penn State University.Applied mathematics in the modern world faces the challenge of developing new mathematical techniques and approaches which would help advance research in other disciplines.
A goal of this workshop is to help prepare the future generation of applied mathematicians to face these challenges. It also aims at establishing new contacts and create long-term relationships between research groups at different institutions, in the US and in Europe.The talks are expected to be of expository nature, i.e. not technical, but of high scientific level. The primary audience of the workshop will consist of graduate students and young researchers. During the three days of the conference, seven plenary speakers will deliver widely accessible survey talks, covering a broad spectrum of applications: materials science, biology and medicine, complex fluids, and finance.
Together with local graduate students, postdocs and junior faculty, 12-15 young researchers will be invited from other institutions, covering their travel and local expenses.
All participants will have an opportunity to present their work in short talks or within a poster session.
