在报告中,Gunther Uhlmann教授从反边值问题引入,介绍了卡尔德隆问题的历史和研究现状,并由此展开提出了十个反问题领域的开问题。Gunther Uhlmann教授的报告为科研人员,特别是青年学者指出了未来值得研究的问题和方向,来自院内外的50余名科研人员听取了本次报告。
附:Gunther Uhlamnn教授简介:
Prof Gunther Uhlmann is the world’s leading mathematician on inverse problem which focuses on determining the identity of an object by measuring how the object scatters incoming light, sound waves or other types of waves.
Prof Uhlmann obtained his PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1976. After postdoctoral positions at Harvard University, the Courant Institute and MIT, he was on the MIT faculty from 1980 to 1984. He joined the University of Washington in 1984, where he became Walker Family Endowed Professor in Mathematics in 2006.
Prof Uhlmann was elected to be the Simons Fellow, Fellow of the American Mathematical Society, Finnish Distinguished Professor 2013-17, Rothschild Distinguished Visiting Fellow at Cambridge University and Isaac Newton Institute of Mathematical Sciences 2011 and Chair of Excellence 2012-13 of the Fondation Sciences Mathématiques de Paris. He is also the member of American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the foreign member of the Finnish Academy of Sciences. In 2011, he was awarded the prestigious B?cher Memorial Prize (awarded once every three or five years) by the American Mathematical Society and the Kleinman Prize (awarded to one person every other year) by the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
