Iam a phd student in indian institute of science. my research area is inverse problems, specifically optical and elastic property reconstruction of breast tissue using diffuse correlation tomography. I found this article on inverse problem easily understantable, well presented, and thought provoking. I have also gone through the article on cloaking devices. Let me thank you for posting such articles which can even be read and understand by an amateur.
yours sincerely
hari .

It’ll probably take me the rest of today to finish learning about all the interesting things you mentioned. My own research concerns only the forward problem, so it’s very instructive for me to consider this totally different point of view.

There are plenty of inverse problems that would each merit their own post. Applying gravitational lensing to imaging is certainly an interesting one.

You call get all sorts of interesting information about galaxies and cosmology using lensing that we have no other way to access.
