This award supports travel for participants from the US to China in the conference "Second International Conference on Random Dynamical Systems", held 20-22 June 2011 at Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing, China.
The conference will bring together leading experts in Stochastic Partial Differential equations and Random Dynamical Systems. The conference will enhance communication among junior and senior researchers in these two fields. The conference encourages and supports participation by graduate students, junior researchers and members of under-represented groups. Conference web site: http://math.njnu.edu.cn/web/home.html
The PI organized a U.S.-Asian Workshop on Random Dynamical Systems, held at the Nanjing Normal University, China,June 22--25, 2011. The goals of this workshop were to nurture high quality scientific activity, to develop and strengthen international mathematical collaboration, and to stimulate the interest of U.S. graduate students, postdocs, junior mathematicians in the area of random dynamical systems. Dynamical systems in engineering and science are often subject to uncertainties. Taking stochastic effects into account is of central importance for developing mathematical models of complex dynamical systems under uncertainty. This subject is developing very rapidly, and is penetrating deeply into other scientific and engineering disciplines. Intellectual merit of the proposed activity Mathematics is becoming increasingly collaborative. The solutions to the important problems of mathematics require input from a diverse group of researchers, usually from different countries, and rapid progress requires an organized collaborative effort such as this proposed workshop. Broader impacts of the proposed activity: This workshop is the second U.S.-Asian workshop on Random Dynamical Systems. It served as a venue for developing communication and establishing collaborative research among research groups from U.S., China and Europe. As a result, many scientific collaborations have been started between European and Chinese researchers and their American counterparts. Moreover, broader discussions around Education occured during this friendly venue. This is a very good forum for learning about other world views and experiences.
