ICERM Board Updates

In 2022, there were a number of changes to ICERM's boards. We'd like to take a moment to acknowledge board members completing their terms: Charles Epstein, University of Pennsylvania has led both the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) and Board of Trustees (BOT) over the last eight years and played a major role in our latest renewal. Bruce Hendrickson, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory joined BOT in 2016 and contributed a lot to ICERM's governance review several years ago. Anne Gelb, Dartmouth College; William Goldman, U University of Maryland; Mauro Maggioni, Johns Hopkins University; and Jon Wilkening, University of California, Berkeley served on SAB over the last three years; our scientific programs are stronger and broader due to their expertise and advice. Finally, we are grateful to Tarik Aougab, Haverford College; Rachel Levy, NC State University; and Jessica Sidman, Mt. Holyoke for their service to the Education Advisory Board (EAB) - in particular, for insights strengthening our Summer@ICERM undergraduate research program.

We welcome our incoming board members: Leon Bottou, Meta, and Carol Woodward, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are joining BOT; Edray Goins, Pomona College; Julianna Tymoczko, Smith College; and Darryl Yong, Harvey Mudd College are adding their expertise to EAB; and Jacob Bedrossian, University of Maryland; Julia Elisenda Grigsby, Boston College; Dana Randall, Georgia Institute of Technology; and Eric Vanden-Eijnden, New York University will contribute to SAB.

A final word of appreciation to Rachel Kuske, Georgia Institute of Technology, the new chair of BOT. She previously served on the SAB for three years and understands ICERM and its mission deeply.

Summer@ICERM 2023

The Summer@ICERM program at Brown University is an eight-week residential program designed for a select group of 18-22 undergraduate scholars. Proposed Research Topics this year include:

• Optimize design structures for families of graphs such as graphs with a lattice substructure and k-regular graphs.
• Create, expand, and improve current software used to nd and check optimal solutions.
• Determine relationships between optimizing bond-edge and tile types.

2023 Upcoming Programs

Summer 2023 is full of programs and workshops!

Fall 2023 (Math + Neuroscience: Strengthening the Interplay Between Theory and Mathematics)

Applications are now open for this program in fall 2023 which seeks bring together a variety of mathematicians with researchers working in theoretical and computational neuroscience as well as some theory-friendly experimentalists. However, unlike programs in neuroscience that emphasize connections between theory and experiment, this program will focus on building bridges between theory and mathematics.

Spring 2024 (Numerical PDEs: Analysis, Algorithms, and Data Challenges)

Applications are now open for spring 2024 where the program will bring together both leading experts and junior researchers to discuss the current state-of-the-art and emerging trends in computational PDEs. While there are scores of numerical methodologies designed for a wide variety of PDEs, the program will be designed around three workshops each centered around a specific theme: PDEs and Geometry, Nonlocal PDEs, and Numerical Analysis of Multiphysics problems. This grouping of topics embodies a broad representation of computational mathematics with each set possessing their own skill set of mathematical tools and viewpoints.

LEAN for the Curious Mathematician

ICERM was pleased to host the Lean for the Curious Mathematician workshop this past summer. During the week at ICERM, Johan Commelin, supported by Adam Topaz and other mathematicians, was able to complete the formalization of the Liquid Tensor Experiment.

Talks from the workshop are available on the program's website.

ICERM Funding for Fellowships

ICERM has funding available for fellowships to support faculty who attend one of our semester programs. These are often used to cover teaching buyouts so that participants can be in residence throughout a semester program. We welcome requests from those not based at R1 research universities and those based at minority-serving institutions, including HBCUs, HSIs, TCUs, and AAPISIs. The standard amount for a full semester is $25,000. Email ICERM’s Director for more information.
