Professors Cakoni and Colton Receive NSF Grant
|
Professors Cakoni and Colton have received a grant of $225,000 from the National Science Foundation for a three year project titled " Transmission Eigenvalues and Inverse Scattering Theory". The project is concerned with the use of transmission eigenvalues to detect the presence of cavities, cracks or inclusions in media which is possibly absorbing or dispersive. This leads,among other problems, to a study of complex transmission eigenvalues and an investigation of whether or not real eigenvalues exist in this case.Funds are available to support a student for each year of the grant.
