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.
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
I delivered a section plenary talk in the 94th GAMM Annual Meeting in Magdeburg on March 19, 2024. The title of my talk was Virtual X-rays: parallel-beam tomography hidden within electric probing, and it belonged to the Section S21 Mathematical signal and image processing, organized by Anne Wald and Johannes Maly. You can download my
I had the pleasure to visit the Institute of Mathematics for Industry (IMI) in the city Fukuoka located in the Kyushu island of Japan. The visit took place on January 9, 2024. My curiosity about IMI had been high for a while since I am a Professor of Industrial Mathematics at the University of Helsinki.
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
