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

Advanced vibration isolation and control for a large suspended optical cavity

The University of Western Australia Department of Physics

The gravitational wave interferometer detectors are the most sensitive instrument in the world. They sense the position change of test masses due to the passing gravitational waves to the precision in the order of 10-20m! The planned future detectors are aiming to improve the sensitivity 10-fold and broaden the sensitive frequency range. Read more
