May 8th -10th 2017

Venue: Informatics Forum, 10 Crichton St, Edinburgh EH8 9AB, UK

Organisers: Natalia Bochkina (University of Edinburgh), Carola Schoenlieb (University of Cambridge), Marta Betcke (UCL), Sean Holman (University of Manchester)

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers on inverse problems working in different areas of mathematics, statistics and machine learning as well as from the applied disciplines where inverse problems arise, such as astronomy, biology, computer vision, geoscience and medicine. The topics of the workshop include nonlinear inverse problems, algorithms, inverse problems in machine learning, theoretical properties of statistical estimators in inverse problems, Bayesian inverse problems, applications in science and medicine.

Financial support: The Alan Turing Institute and London Mathematical Society

Sponsoring: if you would like to sponsor the event, please get in touch with one of the organisers. We are grateful to Schlumberger for sponsorship.

Times: the workshop will start at 10am on Monday 8^th of May and concludes at 4:30pm on Wednesday 10^th of May
