The early success of physics comes mainly from solving direct or forward problems in which the physical state of a system can be described from a well-defined physical model and from governing ...

Check back in Fall 2025. Abstract: Constitutive or material models provide a mathematical description of how solids respond to mechanical stimuli. For example, an isotropic linear elastic constitutive ...

The Inverse Problems Lab at Wilkes University, located in Stark Learning Center, focuses on tackling real-world challenges where system responses are known, but the underlying causes must be ...

Inverse problems are central to modern applied mathematics, posing the challenge of deducing causes from observed effects across numerous disciplines including geophysics, medical imaging and ...

University of California, Santa Cruz professor of mathematics François Monard has received the prestigious Calderón Prize for his work in the field of inverse problems. Broadly defined, researchers ...

Solving life's great mysteries often requires detective work, using observed outcomes to determine their cause. For instance, nuclear physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson ...
