M27. Inverse Problems in Scattering Theory and Geometry

Inverse scattering problems and geometrical inverse problems are classical and active subfields of inverse problems. The aim in inverse scattering theory is to recover information about some unknown medium or potential function from measurements conducted far away. Correspondingly, often in geometrical inverse problems the measurement is conducted at the boundary of a region of interest. Both fields have recently seen many breakthroughs, especially in the non-linear setting.

This mini-symposium aims to collect both experts and newcomers from different fields studying scattering theory and geometrical inverse problems. Both theoretical and numerical sides of the problems are welcome.
