The 2011 Gene Golub SIAM Summer School

支持美国的研究生参加2011年基因Golub SIAM暑期学校（G2 S3），将于7月4日至15日在不列颠哥伦比亚省，在温哥华，加拿大大学校园的两个星期。2011年暑期学校的主题将是“波和成像。“这些资金将用于支付来自美国各机构的参与研究生的交通、住宿和膳食。2011年G2 S3的目标是提供四门关于断层成像数学背景、最新研究进展和重要工业问题应用的无障碍迷你课程。所提出的主题通常不会在博士课程中找到：它们代表了数学概念和跨学科进展的最新融合，尚未以教科书的形式出现。演讲者和主题如下：Margaret切尼，RPI，散射基础，雷达成像; Frank Natterer，U明斯特，计算机断层扫描，医学成像; Laurent Demanet，MIT，地震成像，压缩感知; Josselin Garnier，巴黎VII，随机介质成像，时间反射，被动成像。暑期学校的主题-断层摄影术-是医学CT扫描、国防应用合成孔径雷达和石油天然气工业地震成像等成像模式的基本概念。 采集硬件和数据集正在快速发展，但我们执行断层扫描的能力却没有。暑期学校的目的是感兴趣的新一代研究生与定量背景的显着计算与断层扫描的挑战。NSF对美国参与者的支持将对美国在这一重要的数学工程领域的持续强大竞争力产生积极影响，该领域具有重大的工业和国防应用。

Support for US-based graduate students to attend the 2011 Gene Golub SIAM Summer School (G2S3), to take place on the two weeks of July 4-15 on the campus of the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, Canada. In 2011 the topic of the summer school will be "Waves and Imaging." The funds would be used to cover transportation, lodging, and meals for participating graduate students from institutions in the United States. The goal of the 2011 G2S3 is to offer four accessible mini-courses on the mathematical background of tomographic imaging, recent research developments, and applications to important industrial problems. The proposed topics are not normally found in doctoral courses: they represent a recent convergence of mathematical notions and interdisciplinary advances that has yet to appear in textbook format. The lecturers and the topics are as follows: Margaret Cheney, RPI, Foundations of scattering, Radar Imaging; Frank Natterer, U Muenster, Computerized Tomography, Medical Imaging; Laurent Demanet, MIT, Seismic Imaging, Compressed Sensing; Josselin Garnier, Paris VII, Imaging in Random Media, Time Reversal, Passive Imaging. The topic of the summer school--tomography--is the essential concept under the hood of such imaging modalities as CT scans in medicine; synthetic aperture radar for defense applications; and seismic imaging for the oil and gas industry. The acquisition hardware and the datasets are evolving fast, but our ability to perform tomography is not. The summer school aims to interest a new generation of graduate students with quantitative backgrounds in the significant computational challenges associated with tomography. NSF support for US-based participants would have a positive impact on the continued strong competitiveness of the US in this important field of mathematical engineering with major industrial and defense applications.
