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 talk at the applied math colloquium of Columbia University. My colleagues Liliana Borcea and Kui Ren work there as professors. There were some 30 people in the audience, with lots of young researchers. My topic was my team’s new research on the surprising connections between electrical impedance tomography and classical X-ray tomography.
I had the honor to deliver a keynote address in the Science on Stage Festival in Turku, Finland, on August 15,2024. The title of the talk was The magic of math: three-dimensional X-ray vision. You can see the recording in YouTube. The lecture slides are available here in PDF format. Abstract: In the 1970’s, a
I had a wonderful short trip to Edinburgh to give two talks in the Big Data Inverse Problems conference at the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences. The event took place in the amazing Bayes Centre. Here’s a peek: My first talk was a traditional scientific presentation with the topic Virtual X-rays: parallel-beam tomography hidden within
