M23. Theory and Numerics for Inversion Strategies 

In recent decades, the inverse problem community has witnessed remarkable developments in both theoretical and numerical aspects. In this mini-symposium, we are aiming to bring together many experts mainly from Asia who are working in a wide range of inverse problems and their related fields concerning some inversion strategies for inverse problems. This will give us a good opportunity to share some motivations, backgrounds and viewpoints of several inverse problems. Further, it will also improve the communication and collaboration especially between researchers in Asia and Europe.
