Research
Research in scattering
theory is mainly focused on developing and analyzing algorithms for computing
approximations to scattered acoustic and electromagnetic fields.
There is also a significant activity in antenna modeling. Research
on inversion techniques includes acoustic inverse problems in ocean acoustics,
and electromagnetic inverse problems in complex environments. Graduate
students are welcome!

Seminar
Scattering theory
and inverse scattering presentations are often featured in the Applied
Mathematics seminar series. This seminar series is currently
organized by
Dr. Bacuta and
Dr. Olagunju
Graduate
Program
Students wishing
to study scattering theory or inverse scattering usually enroll in the
Applied Mathematics graduate program (see The
Graduate Program web pages for more details). There are a number
of courses for students interested in this area as well as topics courses.
For example
M694 -- Methods of Optimization
M806 -- Functional Analysis
M812 -- Inverse Problems
M838 -- Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations
Students in Applied
Mathematics are also encouraged to take courses outside the department.
Courses in engineering and computer science can build on the foundations
offered above.
Other courses in the Mathematical Sciences Department of interest to students of scattering and inverse scattering include
Funding
Besides the usual
university
and departmental funding for TAs and fellows some students are also supported directly by companies.
