Scientific Overview

We will offer tutorials in the first week of the program, to provide an introduction to the relevant problems as well as to the relevant concepts from mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering. It is the goal of these tutorials to familiarize participants with the issues and techniques involved in quantum and kinetic transport, and to create a common language among researchers coming from different fields. These tutorials are particularly aimed at students and junior participants. The main topics that will be addressed in these tutorials are:

  • Mathematical transition from quantum, classical, to hydrodynamics scales.
  • Computational methods for mixed scale problems.
  • Quantum and kinetic models in emerging new applications.
  • Current status of analysis on kinetic equations.

Application/Registration

An application/registration form is available at:

https://www.ipam.ucla.edu/elements/choose.aspx?pc=kttut

The application part is for people requesting financial support to attend the workshop. If you don't intend to do this, you may simply register. We urge you to apply as early as possible. Applications received by January 26, 2009 will receive fullest consideration. Letters of reference may be sent to the address or email address below. Successful applicants will be notified as soon as funding decisions are made.

We have funding especially to support the attendance of recent PhD's, graduate students, and researchers in the early stages of their career; however, mathematicians and scientists at all levels who are interested in this area are encouraged to apply for funding. Encouraging the careers of women and minority mathematicians and scientists is an important component of IPAM's mission and we welcome their applications.
