Workshop for Women in PDE and Applied Math in Northeast Region

EVENT OVERVIEW

The one-day workshop will be held on April 12, 2025 at Storrs, UConn. Over the past two decades, significant progress and important breakthroughs have been achieved in several branches of nonlinear PDEs. An important development is that techniques developed in one area have played crucial roles in other areas. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers working in PDE and Applied Math in the northeast region. The talks focus on recent development in two areas: fluid dynamics and calculation of variations from materials science. The  invited speakers feature women researchers at various stages of their career and will lead to many research connections and collaborations among senior and junior researchers. In particular, the career path of the invited speakers will inspire younger generations from underrepresented groups to pursue a career in stem fields.  All participants are welcome. Special attention will be paid to advertise and recruit participants from underrepresented groups.

 

Funding for workshop attendance is available. Junior participants are encouraged to apply here.  Deadline for application is March 9, 2025 at 11:59 pm.
