Gene Golub SIAM Summer School 2011

  • Start Date: 07/04/2011
  • End Date: 07/15/2011
Lecturer(s):


Margaret Cheney (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute)
Laurent Demanet (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Josselin Garnier (Université Paris VII)
Frank Natterer (WWU Muenster)

Location: 

University of British Columbia

Topic: 

Waves and Imaging

Description: 

Mini-courses:

Radar Imaging: Margaret Cheney, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Computerized Tomography: Frank Natterer, WWU Muenster

Seismic Imaging: Laurent Demanet, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Imaging in Random Media: Josselin Garnier, Paris VII (Jussieu)

 

These mini-courses will cover the mathematical underpinnings common to most wave-based imaging modalities, such as wave scattering, integral geometry of Radon and generalized Radon transforms, and statistical stabililization techniques. The computer labs will introduce the participants to various imaging routines in an integrated manner: matched filtering, filtered backprojection, adjoint-state methods, and correlation-based methods. A goal of the summer school is to lead the participants to appreciate the myriad of research-level questions left open in mathematics, numerical methods, and practical applications of imaging with waves.

 

The summer school should be of wide interest to mathematics graduate students interested in computational mathematics, partial differential equations, numerical methods, statistical signal processing, image processing, inverse problems, and compressed sensing. Graduate students from engineering, geophysics and other departments who have affinities with mathematics are also strongly encouraged to apply. There is a limit of 50 participating students. There will be no registration fee. Funding for local accommodation and/or local expenses will be available for some of the participants. Limited travel funds may also be available. The application deadline is February 1, 2011.
