Description:
This workshop is the first meeting of the newly formed PIMS center for
Inverse problems and Imaging and the third Inverse Problems Seminar of the
Pacific Northwest (IPSPN). This meeting is supported by NSF, MITACS and
PIMS. The previous two IPSPN were held at the University of Washington in
Seattle in May 1999, and at Oregon State University in Corvallis in June 2000.
The main goal of the IPSPN Northwest is to foster communication between
mathematicians and other scientists in the Pacific Northwest working on
various aspects of inverse problems. The different groups working in Inverse
Problems at Calgary and the other Canadian institutions members of PIMS has
lead to the creation of an international center for inverse problems and
imaging.
Inverse problems arise in practical situations such as medical imaging, exploration geophysics, and non-destructive evaluation where, measurements made in the exterior of a body are used to deduce properties of the hidden interior. The purpose of the workshop will be to bring together people working on different aspects of the field, to appraise the current status of development and to encourage interaction between mathematicians and scientists and engineers working directly with the applications in the Pacific Northwest.
