The 1st Meeting of the Northern and Central California Section of SIAM will take place at the University of California, Merced campus on October 9-11, 2024. We are looking forward to kicking off the SIAM-NCC activities! 

Join us at UC Merced to meet researchers in your region, make connections, and listen to outstanding seminars. 

Organizing Committee Co-Chairs: Noemi Petra (UC Merced), Marta D'Elia (Atomic Machines and Stanford University), Cosmin Safta (SNL), and Esmond G. Ng (LBNL). 

Technical Program Committee: Javier Arsuaga (UC Davis), Mario Bencomo (Fresno State), Robert Bassett (Naval Postgraduate School), Jon Wilkening (UC Berkeley, LBNL), Marcella Gomez (UC Santa Cruz), Gianluca Iaccarino (Stanford), Habib Najm (SNL), Stefan Wild (LBNL), Shima Alizadeh (Amazon), Carol Woodward (LLNL), and Franziska Weber (UC Berkeley).

Local Organizing Committee: UC Merced faculty members Roummel Marcia, Boaz Ilan, Changho Kim, Erica Rutter, and Shilpa Khatri.

With this first meeting, we want to

• Create an opportunity for scientific researchers to meet, network, and share the innovations and recent developments in their fields.

• Attract and energize a diverse group of students and researchers working in applied and computational mathematics and related fields.

• Offer opportunities to present their work to SIAM members from various institutions in the region who for various reasons (e.g., child care, financial situation, and time and schedule constraints) often struggle to participate at national and international meetings.

• Provide early career researchers the access and opportunities to connect with others who are at similar career stages.

• Inspire the next generation of applied and computational mathematicians to get involved in the community and to innovate through research and education.
