Data driven approaches for nonlinear inverse problems

University of Birmingham School of Mathematics

The project aims to develop new techniques for solving complex inverse problems that arise in various scientific fields. In many real-world applications, such as medical imaging, geophysics, and material science, we often seek to recover the hidden properties of a system from indirect and noisy measurements. Read more

Nonlinear systems of PDE and vectorial Calculus of Variations in L∞ (L-infinity)

University of Reading Department of Mathematics and Statistics

The calculus of variations is, roughly speaking, the mathematical theory of how to minimise or maximise magnitudes. Variational problems from science typically require minimisation of an average magnitude over a space-time region depending on unknown quantities. Read more

Theory of generation of bright attosecond pulses

King’s College London Department of Physics

The creation of the shortest duration, attosecond, light pulses has been celebrated by the Nobel Prize in Physics 2023 [1]. The application of such pulses increases the temporal resolution that physical processes, such as electronic dynamics in atoms, molecules and condensed matter, can be observed with. Read more
