Reserch interests

I am mainly interested in theories and applications of Inverse Problems for partial differential equations. My recent project is Inverse Problems of Electro-seismic Conversion, joint work with Prof. Maarten De Hoop and Prof. Gunther Uhlmann.

 

Research Experience

  • Research Assistant: University of Washington, Seattle, WA 2011
  • Working with Prof. Maarten De Hoop and Prof. Gunther Uhlmann on inverse problems of Electro-seismic Conversion. Our objective is to invert the coupled Maxwell-Biot system and recover the subsurface structure from measurements made only on ground.
  • Worked with Prof. Gunther Uhlmann on Photo-acoustic Tomography(PAT) with partial data. This is a hybrid tomography method. We reconstructed
    the internal structure of an object with high definition and high contrast
    from measurements observed on only part of the boundary and proved the uniqueness and stability of the reconstruction.
  • Studied the image reconstruction in X-ray Tomography and Calderon Problem.
  • Research Assistant: Georgia Southern University, Statesboro, GA 2008 - 2009
  • Finished my master’s thesis on eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of fractal Laplacians, developed a numerical algorithm using finite element method and built MatLab programs to fulfill the numerical computing. Presented my work in a conference.
  • Worked on the strip-based projection model for discrete tomography and developed MatLab programs to fulfill the image reconstructions.
  • Worked on medical modeling and built 3-D models of human hearts.
