Auburn hosts CBMS Conference: Mathematical Methods for Novel Metamaterials

Auburn University hosted the five-day CBMS Conference: Mathematical Methods for Novel Materials in the Mell Center Classrooms with 19 lectures. The interdisciplinary conference brought in attendees from around the world. The conference was organized by Auburn University’s Department of Mathematics and Statistics under the leadership of Junshan Lin and Yanzhao Cao

CBMS Conference: Mathematical Methods for Novel Metamaterials

“I am excited to be at this conference so that I can learn new things and meet new people,” said Liora Rueff, a doctoral student in applied math at ETH Zurich.

Jimmy Touma, a research scientist who works at the Air Force Research Lab and a proud Auburn alumnus, was looking forward to the speakers and topics.

“The speakers are sharing information that directly applies to my research,” Touma said.

Sedigheh Esfanhani, a research assistant at the Advanced Science Research Center located in the City University of New York, was looking forward to speakers.

“I am really excited about the lectures by Oscar Bruno from Caltech on Advanced Computational Methods for Modeling, Simulation and Design’ parts one and two,” she explained. “This conference is a good opportunity to become familiar with mathematical research and meet researchers that are working on interesting topics.”

Manuel Santana from the California Institute of Technology is a second-year doctoral student was looking forward to learning more about research possibilities.

“This is a great opportunity for me to formulate research ideas and add to my mathematical foundation,” Santana said.

Shixiong Yin, a graduate student from the City University of New York, was looking forward to engaging conversations.

“Since I have an electrical engineering background, but I work with meta-materials, this conference gives me different perspectives and angles of research,” Yin said.

The conference was supported by the National Science Foundation, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, and COSAM.
