Student attendees of the 2022 SIAM Conference on Mathematics of Data Science, which was held in San Diego, Calif., this September, work together to answer SIAM trivia questions during the Student Orientation. The orientation, which commenced prior to the Welcome Reception, allowed students to network, get to know each other through icebreaker activities, and become comfortable in a conference setting. Winners of the trivia game received free SIAM t-shirts. SIAM photo.

Weijie Su (University of Pennsylvania) received the 2022 SIAM Activity Group on Data Science Early Career Prize, which is awarded biennially to an early-career researcher who has made distinguished contributions to the field of data science. Su presented a corresponding prize talk—entitled “When Will You Become the Best Reviewer of Your Own Papers? A Mechanism-design-based Approach to Estimation”—at the 2022 SIAM Conference on Mathematics of Data Science, which was held in San Diego, Calif., this September. SIAM photo.

They were recognized for their impressive displays, which they presented during the conference’s Poster Session and Reception. De La Rocha Galan’s poster was entitled “Detailed Force Fields of Non-magnetic Body-centered Cubic Iron with Thermal Disorder,” while White’s poster addressed “Risk-aware Bayesian Goal-oriented Optimal Experimental Design.” SIAM photo.

Three of the six recipients of Best Poster Awards at the 2022 SIAM Conference on Mathematics of Data Science (MDS22)—which was held in San Diego, Calif., in September—were honored during the conference’s closing remarks. From left to right: Paz Fink Shustin (Tel Aviv University), Abdoulaye Koroko (IFP Energies Nouvelles), and Sufia Khatoon (Indian Institute of Technology) stand with MDS22 Organizing Committee co-chair Lars Ruthotto (Emory University). Shustin’s poster addressed “Gauss-Legendre Features for Gaussian Process Regression,” Koroko’s work focused on “Efficient Approximations of the Fisher Matrix in Neural Networks Using Kronecker Product Singular Value Decomposition,” and Khatoon’s display was entitled “A Stochastic Inverse Solution to Thermo-fluid Problems.” Neophytos Charalambides (University of Michigan) also received a Best Poster Award for his poster on “Approximate Matrix Multiplication and Laplacian Sparsifiers,” though he presented his work virtually and was not present in San Diego.
