Waves Winter Workshop

Mathematical and Computational Methods for Direct and Inverse Electromagnetic Scattering

Supported by the University of Reading Computational Sciences Theme.

Goals and Dates

The Waves Winter Workshop is held January 10-11, 2007 at the University of Reading. It is targeted to

researchers in areas which involve waves or scattering phenomena and
to graduate students in applied mathematics.

In a series of lectures important state-of-the-art tools from direct and inverse wave scattering are surveyed. In lectures by staff from Systems Engineering and Meteorology at Reading, open problems in two important application areas

Terahertz propagation and imaging
radar and optical scattering by precipitation

are discussed. The workshop includes discussion sessions for researchers and graduate students. There will be an informal proceedings booklet of the workshop collecting material and content from the invited lectures and discussion sessions. The material is edited by .
