US-Tunisia Cooperative Research: Inverse and Optimal Design Problems

RundellDescription：该奖项是为了表彰德克萨斯州农工大学(TAMU)数学系William Rundell博士和突尼斯突尼斯国立工程学院(Enit)应用数学教授兼数学建模实验室主任Mohamed Jaoua博士领导的一个突尼斯团队的合作项目。他们计划研究逆设计和优化设计数学问题，以及它们在不同领域的几个应用。这些数学工具的一些应用包括：阻抗断层成像(在医疗应用中)、声散射和汽车消声器的设计。范围：该奖项将允许在应用数学领域拥有互补能力和经验的突尼斯和美国科学家之间的合作。突尼斯团队包括高级研究人员、博士后研究人员和研究生。美国和突尼斯的团队领导人在逆和最优设计问题领域以及在几个工程领域的应用方面都有很好的发表记录。这种TAMU-Enit互动很可能是一次富有成效的合作，对双方团队都有好处。这一建议符合INT的目标，即鼓励美国和外国科学家在互利领域进行合作。

0002195RundellDescription: This award is for support of a cooperative project by Dr. William Rundell, Department of Mathematics, Texas A&M University (TAMU), College Station, Texas and a Tunisian team led by Dr. Mohamed Jaoua, Professor of Applied Mathematics and Director of the Laboratory for Mathematical Modeling at the Ecole Nationale D'Ingenieurs De Tunis (ENIT), Tunis, Tunisia. They plan to study inverse and optimal design mathematical problems and several of their applications in various fields. Some of the applications to which these mathematical tools will be applied are: impedance tomography (in medical applications), acoustic scattering, and the design of automobile mufflers. Scope: This award will allow collaboration between Tunisian and US scientists who have complementary capabilities and experience in the field of applied mathematics. The Tunisian team includes senior researchers, postdoctoral investigators and graduate students. Both the US and Tunisian team leaders have strong publishing records in the area of inverse and optimal design problems and in applications in several engineering fields. This TAMU-ENIT interaction is likely to be a productive collaboration, with benefits to both teams. This proposal meets the INT objective of encouraging collaboration by US and foreign scientists in areas of mutual benefit.
