  • Yiqiu Dong, Associate Professor

    Keywords: numerical linear algebra, matrix computation, inverse problems, variational methods, regularization methods, mathematical image processing, tomography reconstruction, optimization

    My main research topic is imaging related inverse problems. The main tool that I use is variational methods, i.e., combining Bayesian statistics and regularisation techniques to propose suitable minimisation problems that mathematically describe the inverse problems and its desired solutions. Then, I apply as well as develop advanced optimisation algorithms for solving the proposed minimisation problems. Recently I have also begun to introduce uncertainty quantification technique into inverse problems. read more

  • Kim Knudsen, Associate professor

    Keywords: Applied mathematical analysis, Inverse Problems, Partial Differential Equations, Functional Analysis, Medical Imaging, Tomography, Biomathematics, Mathematical Biology, Uncertainty Quantification, Scientific Computing

    Kim Knudsen has a background in applied mathematical analysis, which concerns the mathematical modelling, analysis and numerical computations for real world physical phenomena. During the last 20 years he has contributed significantly to the reconstruction problem in Electrical Impedance Tomography by advancing the theory in the partial data problem and by developing and investigating so-called direct reconstruction methods in 2D and 3D. In recent years his interest has been devoted to the theoretical and computational understanding of Hybrid Data Tomography, e.g. Acousto-Electric Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography. Besides his works on Inverse Problems, Kim Knudsen has worked on mathematical biology within aquatic sciences. read more

  • Mirza Karamehmedovic, Associate Professor

    Keywords: analysis, differential equations, partial differential equations, pseudodifferential boundary problems, inverse problems, inverse scattering, inverse source problems, Uncertainty Quantification

    I use the theory of partial differential equations and of pseudodifferential operators to characterize general inverse scattering and inverse source problems in terms of solution regularity, as well as stability in the presence of noise. A 'byproduct' of the analysis are, for example, new results concerning the mapping properties of special classes of pseudodifferential operators. On the numerical side, I construct and apply numerical methods for the approximate solution of industrially relevant inverse scattering problems. Here, I have lately begun to include elements of PDE-based Uncertainty Quantification and rudimentary machine learning. Spectral and regularity analysis of solutions of boundary problems. Numerical solution of inverse problems for PDE. Uncertainty Quantification. read more
