SIAM UQ minisymposium
I organized a minisymposium with Nick Boffi on measure flows for inverse problems and machine learning. Thank you to our wonderful speakers for making this minisymposium a great success!
Inverse Days
I returned from Inverse Days in Helsinki, Finland. I also attended last year, and both times it has been the highlight of my academic year.
