Inverse Problems: Theory and Applications
The course covers foundational theory underpinning the inverse problems that naturally arise when developing technology for society. Through a treatment of theory and application, the course aims to equip students to answer questions such as: what source/forcing/action has caused the system response I am currently observing?; what model parameters best instantiate a predictive model explaining certain noisy/incomplete observations of the subject system?; and how certain am I about any of the foregoing results?
Topics
- Identify an inverse problem.
- Analyze it from a theoretical point of view.
- Employ deterministic and stochastic methods to solve it.
- Apply solution methods in real-world contexts.
- Critically analyze their resulting solutions.
