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:

SIAM Conference on Imaging Science 2024 (IS24)

We are pleased to announce that Cong Shi and Thi Lan Nhi Vu participated as invited speakers in mini-symposia at the SIAM Conference on Imaging Science (IS24) in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Thi Lan Nhi Vu presented a talk entitled “High dynamic range image processing for medical ultrasound” and Cong Shi presented a talk entitled “Attenuation model for photoacoustic tomography with pressure and shear waves”. The conference, which is held every two years, brings together scientists from different disciplines such as mathematics, physics, engineering, statistics and data science, to discuss mathematical issues and other facets of imaging science, and to promote interdisciplinary exchange.

11th IPMS 2024 Conference

The 11th International Conference "Inverse Problems: Modelling and Simulation" (IPMS 2024) took place from May 26 to June 01 2024 at the Congress Center of the Paradise Bay Hotel, Mellieha, Malta. The IPMS conference series is a multidisciplinary and international meeting that brings together scientists working on different topics of inverse problems.

We are pleased to announce that seven of our team members, Yakun Dong, Peter Elbau, Bochra Mejri, Noemi Naujoks, Kamran Sadiq, Otmar Scherzer, and Huidong Yang, have been invited speakers to mini-symposia at the conference.

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!
