This award supports participation in the 33rd International Symposium on Computational Geometry, July 4-7, 2017. SOCG is a focused conference that considers how to develop algorithms to solve problems best stated in geometric form. Research presented at previous SOCG conferences has had significant impact on the US economy in diverse areas that include algorithms for geometric data processing, computer vision, geographic information systems, manufacturing, graphics and visualization, optimization, computer-aided design, and networks. This award aims to increase the impact of this conference on students, particularly those from under-represented groups, by encouraging and enabling their participation, especially in cases where travel expenses would otherwise preclude their attendance. Participation in a top-level event such as SOCG can be educating, motivating, and useful for networking, both with other students and with more senior scientists. This support dovetails nicely with the Young Researchers Forum, a successful satellite event added to the conference in 2012 to encourage and promote computational geometry research by students and postdocs.

该奖项支持参加 2017 年 7 月 4 日至 7 日举行的第 33 届国际计算几何研讨会。SOCG 是一个重点会议，考虑如何开发算法来解决以几何形式最好地表述的问题。之前的 SOCG 会议上提出的研究对美国经济的各个领域产生了重大影响，包括几何数据处理算法、计算机视觉、地理信息系统、制造、图形和可视化、优化、计算机辅助设计和网络。该奖项旨在通过鼓励和促进学生的参与，特别是在差旅费用妨碍他们出席的情况下，增加本次会议对学生，特别是来自代表性不足群体的学生的影响。参加 SOCG 等顶级活动可以起到教育、激励作用，并且有助于与其他学生和更资深的科学家建立人际网络。这种支持与青年研究人员论坛完美契合，青年研究人员论坛是 2012 年会议上新增的一个成功的卫星活动，旨在鼓励和促进学生和博士后的计算几何研究。
