Pacific Northwest Conference
June 3 - 6, 2009
Comprehensive Mathematical Modeling in the Natural and Engineering Sciences,
Organized in the Spirit of L. A. Segel
Invited speakers:
Rebecca Bendick, University of Montana; Brian Dennis, University of Idaho; Lisa Fauci, Tulane University; Eric Ferm, Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory; Alexander Golovin, Northwestern University; Louis Gross, University of Tennessee; Richard Jacob, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory; Leah Keshet & Rachel Kuske, University of British Columbia; Isaac Klapper, Montana State University; Jodi Mead, Boise State University; Charlotte Omoto, Washington State University; Robert Van Kirk, Humboldt State University; Joan Wu, Washington State University; and Mei Zhu, Pacific Lutheran University.
Description:
This interdisciplinary conference will provide a focal point for the interaction of participants from various backgrounds interested in experimentally-driven theoretical modeling of natural and engineering scientific phenomena in the spirit of the late applied mathematician, Lee A. Segel. In addition to the 15 invited speakers there will be sessions for contributed papers. Young scientists (junior faculty members, post-doctoral fellows, recent Ph.D. recipients and graduate students) are especially encouraged to attend this NSF-funded conference and stipends are available to cover their travel and board expenses.
Further information:
Potential participants in this conference should apply by sending an e-mail that includes a title and abstract of their prospective contributed paper to either of the conference organizers David J. Wollkind (
