Professors Edwards, Rossi and Braun have received funding from both the Institute for Mathematics and Its Applications (IMA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support the 28th Annual Mathematical Problems in Industry (MPI) workshop (for a description of the workshop, see the Conference Corner). The IMA awarded the trio $5,000 towards this year’s workshop at UD as one of its Participating Institution meetings; their reviewers noted that MPI was “very much in the spirit of the IMA's mission,” which includes fostering collaborations between academia and industry, and training the next generation of researchers and educators. The NSF awarded $64,850 to Profs. Edwards and Rossi to support this year’s workshop; Prof. Braun is senior personnel on the project. The program officer noted that “the reviewers found value in having a venue where faculty, students, and postdocs could work together with industry counterparts on mathematical problems arising from industry.... The reviewers found strength in the broader impact of the proposal, as the proposed activities would expose a new generation of junior researchers and students to industrial problems which require mathematical research.” The Department thanks these organizations for their support and looks forward to a successful workshop.
