A primary (though not the only) focus of this seminar series is on mathematical and computational aspects of remote sensing. A partial list of the topics of interest includes: numerical solution of large scale PDEs (a.k.a. forward problems); theory and numerical methods of inverse and ill-posed problems; imaging; related problems in numerical linear algebra, approximation theory, optimization and model reduction.
- SPONSORS: Schlumberger Doll Research (Cambridge, MA), Tufts University School of Engineering, and Tufts Department of Mathematics
- Co-ORGANIZERS: Vladimir Druskin (druskin1@boston.oilfield.slb.com, 617-768-2083) and Misha Kilmer (misha.kilmer@tufts.edu, 617-627-2005)
