Siiri Rautio defended her PhD thesis Ill-posed microlocal imaging using targeted deep learning at University of Helsinki on April 3, 2025. Her opponent was Professor Elena Loli Piccolomini from University of Bologna. In her work, Siiri made a remarkable tour in the inverse problems landscape. She created new methods for image deblurring, superresolution, X-ray tomography
My old friend and colleague Takanori Ide started as professor at Josai University in Tokyo, Japan, in April 2024. Before that, he worked over 20 years at Aisin AW company, gathering tons of experience in industrial mathematics. Now that he is back in the academic world, he organized a wonderful workshop Inverse Problem Seminar: from
On January 24, 2025, I delivered a talk in the mathematics seminar at Ehime University in Matsuyama, Japan. The talk was joint with my PhD student Siiri Rautio. Many thanks to Professor Hisashi Morioka for inviting us to beautiful Matsuyama! My talk slides are here for download (PDF 16.6 MB).
I delivered a talk entitled Electrical impedance tomography and complex geometric optics solutions: new perspectives at the RIMS Symposium Theoretical and numerical approaches for inverse problems in Kyoto, Japan, on January 21, 2025. RIMS is the Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences on the Kyoto University campus. There is a recurrent inverse problems workshop taking place
My student Alexander Meaney defended his PhD thesis Variational Regularization Methods and Open Data for Image Reconstruction in Computed Tomography on January 15, 2025 at University of Helsinki. His opponent was Professor Silvia Gazzola from University of Pisa. .
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
