Organizing Committee: Henry Cohn (Microsoft Corporation), Jeffrey Hoffstein (Brown University), Christopher K.R.T. Jones (University of North Carolina), Pamela Martin (IUPUI), Joseph H. Silverman (Brown University), and Bjorn Sandstede (Brown University).
Interested in discussing cutting edge research ideas with both peers and leaders in their field? Interested in broadening your professional network across the mathematical sciences? Interested in the opportunity to present your ideas and hear
about funding opportunities from program officers?
The Idea-Lab invites 20 early career researchers (postdoctoral candidates and assistant professors) to the institute for a week during the summer. The program will start with brief participant presentations on their research interests in order to build a common understanding of the breadth and depth of expertise. Throughout the week, organizers or visiting researchers will give comprehensive overviews of their research topics. Organizers will create smaller teams of participants who will discuss, in depth, these research questions, obstacles, and possible solutions. At the end of the week, the teams will prepare presentations on the problems at hand and ideas for solutions. These will be shared with a broad audience including invited program officers from funding agencies. Topics: - Towards Efficient Homomorphic Encryption - Tipping Points in Climate Systems Funding Includes: - Travel Support - Six nights accommodations - Meal allowance Participation: IdeaLab applicants should be at an early
stage of their post-PhD career. The selection committee will begin reviewing applications on a rolling basis starting the week of April 22, 2013. The applications will remain open through the end of May, 2013, or until all positions are filled, whichever comes first.
