Mission Statement

The core research topics of the Computational Science Center are Inverse Problems and Image Analysis. The common thread among these areas is a canonical problem of recovery of an object (function or image) from partial or indirect information. Particular research topics are:

International Day of Mathematics

«Playing with Math» was the theme of this year's International Day of Mathematics on March 14th. Several scientific institutions, including the University of Vienna, the Vienna University of Technology, and the Austrian Academy of Sciences, collaborated to explore intriguing mathematical concepts in a playful manner.

Axel Kittenberger and Noemi Naujoks demonstrated how a computer tomograph works and explained the fascinating mathematics behind it. They showcased the Origami Tomograph developed by CSC, which reconstructs a transparent 3D object from light projections. A special highlight was a quiz that encouraged participants to play the role of a tomograph and guess the underlying object from projection data.

Our former colleague Florian Faucher started his ERC Starting Grant ``Passive imaging in terrestrial and solar seismology''i on January 1st 2024.

» Now MSc Research Interships at the University of Pau and Pays L-Adour are open.

PhD defense: Leopold Veselka

We are happy to announce that Leopold Veselka, PhD student in the Sub-project Quantitative Coupled Physics Imaging of the «SFB Tomography Across the Scales», has successfully defended his PhD thesis with the title “Reconstruction of optical parameters in quantitative optical coherence tomography” on 9th of January, 2024.

Leopold’s doctoral study was supervised by Peter Elbau, the principal investigator of the Sub-project Quantitative Coupled Physics Imaging affiliated with the Faculaty of Mathematics, University of Vienna. Congratulations from the SFB colleagues!
