Conference Lectures and Schedule
The conference features the Principal Lecturer Gunther Uhlmann, who is the Robert R. and Elaine F. Phelps Endowed Professor of University of Washington. Professor Uhlmann is one of the leading experts in inverse problems, and is the main leader of inverse problems community. His research topics range from rigorous mathematical analysis to real world applications, publishing more than 300 papers with numerous collaborators, and he is well known for bringing in important new problems and techniques to the math community.
As the Principal Lecturer, Professor Uhlmann will be delivering ten hour long lectures focusing on a variety of inverse problems arising in nonlinear wave propagation, nonlinear analogs of Calderon's inverse problems, nonlinear transport equations, and inverse scattering for nonlinear PDEs. Several open problems will also be formulated.
The following is a tentative list of topics for each lecture:
Lecture 1: Calderon's Inverse Problem
Lecture 2: Gelfand's Inverse Problem
Lecture 3: Inverse Problems for Semilinaer Wave Equations
Lecture 4: Inverse Problems for Semilinaer Elliptic Equations
Lecture 5: Inverse Problems for Quasilinear Hyperbolic Equations
