The second Finland-Japan Workshop in Industrial and Applied Mathematics was held at Josai University in Tokyo, Japan, in January 2026. It was really nice to take part after being one of the organizers of the first one that took place in Helsinki, Finland, in 2024. I gave a talk by the title On-the-fly parameter adjustment
I attended the RIMS Symposium Inverse problems for partial differential equations and related areas in Kyoto, in January 2026. It was a lovely chance to cherish my connections with Japanese colleagues and to bring my research group from Helsinki to explore and share mathematical ideas. I gave a talk on my new results on automatic
The Applied Inverse Problems Conference, or AIP for short, is the main scientific gathering of my field of mathematics. It happens every two years. I have a special love for this congress series because I was the main organizer of AIP 2015 in Helsinki, Finland. In 2025 it was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
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
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
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.
