Inspired by our new FAME Flagship consortium, I put together a writing team for reviewing the amazing history and present highlights of Finnish inverse problems research. The piece was just published in SIAM News. You can take a look here: SIAM News article.
I was happy and proud to receive invitation to deliver the Annual Lecture for Students at University of Edinburgh. This is a tradition of popular-math talks. My topic was The Magic of Math: Three-Dimensional X-ray Vision. Here are my slides: PDF 142MB Here I am after the talk with the organizers, Yoyo Yang and Ana
I gave a talk in the Applied and Computational Mathematics seminar at University of Edinburgh on November 6, 2024. My topic was Electrical impedance tomography and virtual X-rays. Here are my slides: PDF 51MB
I gave a talk in the applied math seminar at Virginia Tech. My topic was Electrical Impedance Tomography and Virtual X-rays. You can get my slides here: PDF 47MB. My colleague, Assistant Professor Mirjeta Pasha was a wonderful host. She showed me around the campus and introduced me to the Applied & Computational Math research
I spent October of 2024 at Colorado State University visiting Professor Jennifer Mueller. Our collaboration goes back already 27 years! We are writing another book together, and this trip gives a good boost to the book project. According to my calculations, this is my 15th visit at CSU. The first one was in year 2000
I had the honor to deliver the Arnold Lecture 2024 on October 3, at Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA, USA. The talk was aimed at a general audience, and my topic was The magic of math: three-dimensional X-ray vision. Here are my talk slides: PDF 140MB. I got excellent questions from the crowd, and this
I delivered a public talk on the mathematics of AI – in a Cleveland church turned into a lecture hall of Case Western Reserve University! A bit different vibe than in usual venues. 😂 And I guess I was kind of preaching to the choir… My title was How does AI detect cats in photos
During my September visit I delivered a scientific talk at the Computational Mathematics Seminar at the Flatiron Institute. My topic was Electrical impedance tomography and virtual X-rays, and you can download my slides here: PDF 53MB. Abstract: Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a nonlinear PDE-based imaging modality where a patient is probed with harmless electric
I gave a public talk about the math of artificial intelligence (AI) at MoMath on September 19, 2024. My goal was two-fold: first of all, to show that modern AI methods are based on elementary school mathematics such as addition and multiplication. Second, I wanted to give audience an idea about “convolution”, the key ingredient
My series of video lectures about X-ray tomography took the important step to explaining how to treat real measured data. I put two simple pieces of material into an X-ray device and show what happens when we try to calculate Radon transform-like line integrals from the pixel values. You can watch the video in YouTube
