Practical Inverse Problems and Their Prospects

Jin Cheng is Professor at Fudan University. He is one of the leading researchers in Inverse problems. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Fudan University. He made many contributions in theoretical and practical inverse problems and is on the editorial baord of the journal "Inverse Problems".

Cheng Hua is a researcher in solid physics, working at Fudan University. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tokyo. He made important contributions on the theory of Rayleigh waves. He is now engaged in developing a new non-destructive inspection technology for concrete structures by application of Rayleigh waves.

Takashi Ohe is Professor at Okayama University of Science. He is a researcher in both inverse problems and numerical analysis.
He received his Ph.D. in Engineering from Osaka University. In the research of some inverse problems, his numeraical analyses led theoretical researches, since his numeraical analyses and experiments showed the way theorecical researches should proceed.

Takashi Takiguchi is a researcher in both inverse problems and microlocal analysis, working at National Defense Academy of Japan.
He received his Ph.D. in Mathematical Sciences from the University of Tokyo. For the last decade, he engaged in the researches in practical inverse problems based on industry-academia and interdisciplinary collaborations. He organized an international workshop on practical inverse prblems about once a year and contributed to the promotion of industry-academia and interdisciplinary collaborations.
