The AIP conference is the main scientific event in the field of inverse problems. It is held every two years, apart from a break during the Covid19 pandemic. Actually I have organized one myself, in 2015 in Helsinki. This year the conference was held in Göttingen, Germany, a classic scientific hub before the second world
The International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM) was held in Tokyo in late August 2023. I participated it together with many students and colleagues from University of Helsinki. This congress happens every 4 years, and it is the main scientific conference in my field of research. It was nice for me to go
I had the honor of opening the legendary IWOTA conference at University of Helsinki on July 31, 2023. You can read my opening address below, including a JOKE! I gave my own talk as well in the minisymposium on inverse problems, organized by Lauri Oksanen and Tony Liimatainen. Here are my slides (PDF 16MB) in
Read more about spider species living in Finland, text is available in Finnish.
Spiders from several states of the US and some from Canada. Including a Black Widow from Albuquerque, NM!
Samples from Germany, England, Italy and France. Plus Albania!
My spider samples from SA are mainly from Brazil. But they are colorful ones!
I have lived in Japan and travelled there quite a lot. So I have several spider samples from there. Other Asian destinations of mine with spider photo activity include Hong Kong and Indonesia. My dream is to find some day a jumping spider from the Portia genus. They are known to be super-smart!
I just published a new video in my lecture series on X-ray tomography (link). There I show how to use Matlab to simulate basic tomographic things such as sinograms and filtered back-projection algorithms. I also give an introductory discussion of measurement noise and how to supress it with a low-pass filter. This is how it
I was lucky to be invited again to the legendary Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach (MFO). This time the topic of the five-day workshop was tomography, or mathematical slice imaging. How delightful it was to meet collaborators and share ideas after the pandemic years of online meetings!
