Scientific Overview

Efficient algorithms for scientific computing, imaging science and optimization have developed rapidly over the past decade. Stan Osher has been at the forefront of this progress with ground-breaking contributions on high resolution shock capturing schemes, the level set method, applications to multi-phase flows, computer vision, TV (total variation) based image restoration, and L1-minimization and optimization. In honor of Stan’s 70th birthday, this will be a forward looking conference covering recent progress and new directions in several important aspects of scientific computing, imaging science and optimization. It will emphasize the crucial role of significant mathematics in the design of advanced algorithms and methodologies applicable to real world applications.

The conference will include about 22 invited speakers ranging from pure mathematicians with a strong interest in applications to applied and computational mathematicians to engineers and scientists in other fields. We also encourage contributed poster presentations and participations from young scientists and graduate students, and we anticipate availability of funds to support their participation at the conference.

As a participant for Stan Osher’s 70th Birthday Conference, you are invited to attend a dinner banquet in Stan’s honor on Thursday, April 5. The banquet will be held at UCLA’s Faculty Center starting at 6:00 pm. It will include a buffet dinner and a series of short presentations by friends and colleagues of Stan Osher. The speakers and agenda for the evening will be determined at a later date.

All conference participants are invited to attend for a fee of $40. The online registration link is now turned off. If you wish to attend, please RSVP by email to Roland McFarland and we will collect your $40 (cash or check) in person. Please RSVP no later than April 2, 2012.
