The speakers are David Colton from the University of Delaware, The Inverse Scattering Problem; Victor Isakov from Wichita State University, Carleman Estimates and their Applications to Inverse Problems and Control Theory; and Zuhair Nashed from the University of Central Florida, Regularization Methods for Nonlinear Inverse Problems and Variational Inequalities.
The first session is set for Friday, Feb. 13, from 2 - 5 p.m. The second session is Saturday, Feb. 14, from 9 a.m. – noon and the final session is the same day from 2 - 5 p.m.
