摘要：NSF提案dms -0307794标题：参与者资助：应用逆问题-理论和计算方面spi: Joyce R McLaughlin， Rensselaer理工学院该奖项主要用于资助将于2003年5月18-23日在加州大学洛杉矶分校湖箭头会议中心举行的“应用逆问题：理论和计算方面”会议的初级参与者。逆问题是一个日益活跃的研究领域。会议将讨论反问题解决的各个方面，包括理论、建模和计算方面。广泛的应用将包括生命科学数学建模、雷达、逆散射、小波、贝叶斯统计方法、时间反转问题、x射线断层扫描、光学断层扫描、地球物理成像、天体物理成像和水平集方法。反问题的一个普遍特征是测量数据与所寻求的解间接相关。应用包括医学诊断、医学成像、先进材料、远程地形传感、蛋白质折叠或分子马达建模等生物建模、天体物理学成像、石油勘探或断裂带识别等地球物理建模。对这次箭头湖会议的反应非常热烈。将会有大量的领域内的领导者积极参与，会议也将强调初级研究人员的职业发展。我们预计总共160名与会者中有60-70名处于职业生涯早期的研究人员。所有参与者都是积极的研究人员，并有机会就自己的工作进行演讲。

Abstract: NSF Proposal DMS-0307794Title: Participant Funding: Applied Inverse Problems - Theoretical and Computational AspectsPI: Joyce R McLaughlin, Rensselaer Polytechnic InstituteThis award is for funding, primarily for junior participants, for the conference, Applied Inverse Problems: Theoretical and ComputationalAspects, that will be held at the UCLA Lake Arrowhead Conference Center from May 18-23, 2003. Inverse problems is a growing active research area. The conference will be on all aspects of inverse problem solutions including theoretical, modeling and computational aspects. A wide range of applications will be represented including life science mathematical modeling, radar, inverse scattering, wavelets, baysian statistical methods, time reversal problems, x-ray tomography, optical tomography, geophysical imaging, astrophysical imaging and level set methods. A prevalent feature of inverse problems is that the measured data is indirectly related to the sought after solution. Applications include medical diagnostics, medical imaging, advanced materials, sensing of remote topographies, biological modeling as in protein folding or molecular motor modeling, imaging in astrophysics, geophysical modeling as in oil prospecting or fault zone identification, etc. The response to this Lake Arrowhead conference as been very enthusiastic. A large number of leaders in the field will be active participants and the conference will also emphasize career development of junior researchers. We expect 60-70 researchers in their early career out of an expected total of 160 attendees. All participants will be active researchers and will have an opportunity to give a talk on their own work.
