Organizing Committee

Ellis Cumberbatch (Claremont Graduate University)
Heinz Engl (Johannes Kepler University, Austria)

The format for this meeting has probably the longest tradition in Oxford and has also been implemented in other European countries, in Australia, and at RPI. On the first day of such a study group, industrial researchers present problems for which they want a mathematical model, solution, algorithm. In the following days, open discussions in groups, which tend to be quite intensive, should lead to progress. The outcome will generally not be a final solution, but a first mathematical model and a clear plan for further work. Such a study group should focus on problems from West Coast industries (but not exclusively) in order to make a follow-up by inverse problems experts who visit IPAM for the semester possible. Topics where industrial contacts have already been made include inverse problems and optimal design in photonics and inverse problems in finance, especially identification of volatilities and interest rate models.
