Engl" Subject: Inverse Problems: Announcement of Workshops Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 Dear Colleagues, I'd like to bring to your attention some important workshops that the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) is hosting as part of its program on "Inverse Problems: Computational Methods and Emerging Applications". More information on the program is on our website at www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/inv2003 Tutorials: There will be tutorials for the program from September 9-12, 2003. Registration for these is free. For more information and a link to the schedule, please go to www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/invtut Industrial Problem Workshop: This is a special workshop featuring industrial problems to be solved by study groups and to be held from September 15-18, 2003. Participation in this workshop is by application only. Details are at www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/invip Workshop Series I: There are three segments to this series: Deconvolution and Related Inverse Problems in the Physical Sciences (Oct 16 - 18, 2003), Emerging Applications of Inverse Problems Techniques to Imaging Science (Oct 20 - 21, 2003), and Inverse Problems in the Life Sciences (Oct 22 - 23, 2003). Details on these segments, speakers, link to a schedule and registration information is on the website at www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/invws1 Workshop Series II: There are four segments to this series: Inverse Problems in Materials Science (Nov 12 - 14, 2003), Level Set Methods for Inverse and Optimal Design Problems (Nov 12 - 14, 2003), Computational Methods for Inverse Problems and Applications (Nov 15, 17 - 19, 2003) and Inverse problems and learning theory and algorithms (Nov 20, 2003). Details on these segments, speakers, link to a schedule and registration information is on the website at www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/invws2 We have funding to support the attendance and participation in these workshops for recent PhD's, graduate students, and researchers in the early stages of their career. Mathematicians at all levels who would like to learn more about this area are encouraged to apply for funding. Encouraging the careers of women and minority mathematicians and scientists is an important component of IPAM's mission and we welcome their applications. Please go to the respective websites for more information. Mark L.
