US-Tunisia Cooperative Research: Inverse and Optimal Design Problems

0002195 Rundell描述：该奖项是为了支持德克萨斯州学院站德克萨斯农工大学（TAMU）数学系的William Rundell博士和突尼斯突尼斯国立工程师学院（ENIT）应用数学教授兼数学建模实验室主任Mohamed Jaoua博士领导的突尼斯团队的合作项目。 他们计划研究逆向和优化设计数学问题及其在各个领域的应用。 这些数学工具将被应用的一些应用是：阻抗层析成像（在医疗应用中），声散射，以及汽车消声器的设计。适用范围：该奖项将允许突尼斯和美国科学家谁在应用数学领域的互补能力和经验之间的合作。 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向和优化设计问题领域以及几个工程领域的应用方面都有很好的出版记录。这种TAMU-ENIT互动可能是一种富有成效的合作，对两个团队都有好处。 该提案符合INT鼓励美国和外国科学家在互利领域合作的目标。

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.
