The meeting was in hybrid format from 11-15 July 2022 and was jointly held with "SIAM Conference on Applied Mathematics Education (ED22) ", "SIAM Conference on the Life Sciences (LS22)", "SIAM Conference on Mathematics of Planet Earth (MPE22) " in David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Pittsburgh the steel city.

I was awarded $800 and free registration for the Student Travel grant. On 10 July 2022, we had a student chapter registration and welcome event to get to know each other. On 12 July 2022 at 7:00 AM I represented the student chapter for Student Breakfast where we met and discussed the progress and challenges of the chapter. I was happy to have breakfast with ex-President Lloyd Nicholas Trefethen and Current President Sven Leyffer of SIAM and then discuss some of our activities and our Student chapter Mug. We all student Chapter Representatives had a group photo together. Also, we had lunch together. There are now more than 200 student chapters all over the world.

I was selected to give a talk for the Session Multiphyscial and Multiscale models and also to give a talk as the student chapter. Since I can give only one talk according to conference rules. I gave a talk in the session. For me, it was the most memorable experience to give a talk at such a big conference. I attended the talk of other student representatives and it was a nice experience to see their work. I also attend various sessions related to my research interest and some expert sessions as well.

We also had an informal meeting with the expert Guests who were invited to give special talks. I was very delighted to talk to the world-renowned mathematician Edriss Titi about my question about my career. I also got 6 books from the conference for free for students. I meet so many new researchers all around the world. I was also offered the to publish a research Blog Article for my talk which got published in SIAM News on 9 September 2022

I am very thankful to the SIAM Annual Meeting organizer and student chapter event organizer for making this event so memorable. Also, I would like to thank our Student chapter Advisor and my Student Chapter team for working so hard to make all the activities this year successful.
