Abstract:

Codes arising from algebraic geometry, first introduced by Goppa, gained attention when Tsfasman–Vladut–Zink used them to improve the Gilbert-Varshamow bound. We will give a gentle introduction to some of the beautiful ideas from algebraic geometry used to build these (...)

Optical coherence tomography is a recently developed imaging technology, capable of high resolution in vivo imaging of tissue. It is analogous to ultrasound, but uses near infrared light instead of sound waves.

It is used clinically in ophthalmology, and is rapidly gaining importance in (...)

Abstract: Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) is a data fitting technique in which we seek to find a three-dimensional model of the earth¹s elastic parameters from the data recorded in a seismic experiment. FWI images could be used to explore for oil and gas targets in a basin, to plan and safely drill (...)
