CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
for
RICHARD C. DiPRIMA PRIZE
The DiPrima Prize
SIAM will present the award at the SIAM Annual Meeting in Portland,
Oregon, July 12-16, 2004. The award honors the memory
of Richard C. DiPrima, long-time chair of the Department of
Mathematical Sciences at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and past
President and energetic supporter of SIAM. The award, to be given to
a young scientist, will be based on an outstanding doctoral
dissertation in applied mathematics.
Eligibility
Candidates for the prize must have completed their doctoral
dissertations and all other requirements for their doctorates during
the period running from three years prior to the award date to one
year prior to the award date (July 1, 2001 to June 30, 2003). The
doctorate must have been awarded at least eight months prior to the
award date. The requirements for the doctorate must have been
equivalent to those for an American doctorate. It is preferable but
not necessary that the recipient be a member of SIAM. Selection is
based on the dissertations of the candidates. The dissertations must
represent topics of applied mathematics (defined as those topics
covered by the SIAM journals). They must be submitted in English. An
English translation is acceptable.
Nominations
Nominations, along with a copy of the dissertation (in English),
should be sent by December 31, 2003 to:
Richard C. DiPrima Prize Selection Committee

Subject: Workshop in College Park on Nonequilibrium Interface Dynamics
A Workshop on "Nonequilibrium Interface Dynamics: Theory and Simulation
from Atomistic to Continuum Scales" will be held at the Center for
Scientific Computation And Mathematical Modeling (CSCAMM), University of
Maryland, College Park, October 13-31, 2003.
SCIENTIFIC CONTENT. The rapid development in materials science and
nanotechnology have added importance to the challenges of understanding
non-equilibrium interface dynamics. Technologically, assemblies with
highly-ordered quantum dots or quantum wires have shown remarkable
optoelectronic, magnetic, and mechanical properties but must be
fabricated on a surface through processes that are often far from
equilibrium. Scientifically, as sizes decrease, interfacial properties
become essential and even dominant, and theories for surfaces and
interfaces of bulk materials must be revisited. Existing analytical
approaches to the study of complex interfacial systems characterized by
multiscale, fluctuation, and singularities range from first-principles
calculations to kinetic Monte Carlo simulations to coarse-grained
continuum modeling. Applied mathematics makes important contributions in
bridging these descriptions by developing rigorous mathematical
theories and innovative simulation techniques.
The aim of the program, organized by T. Einstein, B. Li, J.-G. Liu, E.
Tadmor, J. Warren, J. Weeks and E. Williams, is to bring together
leading physicists, materials scientists, computational scientists, and
applied mathematicians to review recent research developments, to
identify critical scientific issues, and to accelerate the interaction
of mathematics with physics and materials science in the research of
non-equilibrium interface dynamics.
TUTORIALS (October 13 - 17). Introductory lectures on a variety of
topics ranging from atomic step dynamics and phase field modeling to
mathematical description of internal layers and coarsening, and to
first-principles and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. Speakers: T.
Einstein, K. Rabe, R. Pego, F. Sullivan, J. Warren, E. Williams
WORKSHOP 1 (October 20 - 24). FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICAL ISSUES IN
NONEQUILIBRIUM INTERFACE DYNAMICS.
WORKSHOP 2 (October 27 - 31). HIERARCHICAL MODELING AND MULTISCALE
SIMULATION OF MATERIALS INTERFACES.
A limited number of openings are available. To apply please RSVP at:
