INVW06
10 February 2014 to 14 February 2014
The 2011 programme included two highly successful workshops Analytic and Geometric Methods in Medical Imaging and Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering. In this Follow-up Meeting we propose to focus on recent developments in the mathematical problems associated with, and generated by, these workshops.
In the two yeas since the end of the programme there has been much progress in these areas. Representative examples include:
A particularly important and advancing area in the medical imaging of tissue is the use of hybrid imaging. These methods combine high-contrast imaging methods, such as those found in Electrical Impedance Tomography or Optical Tomography, with high-resolution methods such as magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound.
A new Diffusion Tensor Current Density Imaging method (Hoell, Moradifam and Nachman) addressees a problem that arrises in Current Density Impedance Imaging while the recent theoretical work of Guillaume Bal, Chenxi Guo and Francois Monard provides a way of improving the image from the ill-posed problem.
In Image Analysis, recent progress has been made on fast MRI using Matrix Completion and new Algorithms, to quantify the geometric similarity of anatomical surfaces which do not require the marking of special features or landmarks by the user.
In the area of Industrial Seismology, the seismic inverse problem is now central to major commercial efforts, while remaining a source of very difficult computational and mathematical problems. There is ongoing work to quantify the need for very low frequency data acquisition, the possibility of effective quality control, and the very difficult problems associated with shallow geological waveguides which are prevalent in some parts of the world. Developments in this area include de Hoop's Banach space analysis of the basic inverse problem, and Plessix's techniques for estimating more than one mechanical parameter as function of position along with reliability measures. These topics will continue to grow in sophistication and economic importance in the next few years.
Another area of remote geophysical sensing in which progress has been made is landmine detection and security screening. Especially noteworthy are recent work by Ammari, Volkov, and Kang, and the initiative by the Bobby Charlton Charity to develop new landmine detection equipment.
These and related problems will form the basis of the meeting.
Participation is by invitation only.

INI is a creative collaborative space which is occupied by up to fifty-five mathematical scientists at any one time (and many more when there is a workshop). Some of them may not have met before and others may not realise the relevance of other research to their own work.
INI is especially important as a forum where early-career researchers meet senior colleagues and form networks that last a lifetime.
Here you can learn about all activities past, present and future, watch live seminars and submit your own proposals for research programmes.
Within this section of the website you should find all the information required to arrange and plan your visit to the Institute. If you have any further questions, or are unable to find the information you require, please get in touch with the relevant staff member or our Reception team via our contact pages.
INI and its programme participants produce a range of publications to communicate information about activities and events, publish research outcomes, and document case studies which are written for a non-technical audience. You will find access to them all in this section.
The Isaac Newton Institute aims to maximise the benefit of its scientific programmes to the UK mathematical science community in a variety of ways.
Whether spreading research opportunities through its network of correspondents, offering summer schools to early career researchers, or hosting public-facing lectures through events such as the Cambridge Festival, there is always a great deal of activity to catch up on.
Find out about all of these endeavours in this section of the site.
There are various ways to keep up-to-date with current events and happenings at the Isaac Newton Institute. As detailed via the menu links within this section, our output covers social media streams, news articles, a regular podcast series, an online newsletter, and more detailed documents produced throughout the year.
“A world famous place for research in the mathematical sciences with a reputation for efficient management and a warm welcome for visitors”
The Isaac Newton Institute is a national and international visitor research institute. It runs research programmes on selected themes in mathematics and the mathematical sciences with applications over a wide range of science and technology. It attracts leading mathematical scientists from the UK and overseas to interact in research over an extended period.
INI has a vital national role, building on many strengths that already exist in UK universities, aiming to generate a new vitality through stimulating and nurturing research throughout the country.During each scientific programme new collaborations are made and ideas and expertise are exchanged and catalysed through lectures, seminars and informal interaction, which the INI building has been designed specifically to encourage.
For INI’s knowledge exchange arm, please see the Newton Gateway to Mathematics.
The Institute depends upon donations, as well as research grants, to support the world class research undertaken by participants in its programmes.
Fundraising activities are supported by a Development Board comprising leading figures in academia, industry and commerce.
Visit this section to learn more about how you could play a part in supporting INI’s groundbreaking research.
In this section you can find contact information, staff lists, maps and details of how to find INI’s main building in Cambridge.
Our administrative staff can help you with any queries regarding a prospective or planned visit. If you would like to discuss a proposed a research programme or other event, our senior management team will be happy to help.
