Past events
Learned reconstruction methods – combining the model and data regime
5.6.2025 | This webinar will be presented by Professor Andreas Hauptmann (University of Oulu). In recent years, the paradigm of data-driven image reconstruction has gathered considerable attention, due to its success in improving reconstruction quality and offering computational speed-up. Nevertheless, the majority of such data-driven approaches comes without a thorough mathematical understanding. While we cannot solve this shortcoming yet, we will provide a conceptual overview of data-driven approaches that combine classical model-based inversion and provide varying degrees of interpretability as well as some theoretical guarantees.
How can we find the interior structure of the Earth from earthquake data?
3.4.2025 | This webinar will be presented by Prof. Joonas Ilmavirta (University of Jyväskylä). Can one deduce the internal structure of the Earth from seismic measurements? Professor Ilmavirta will explain how this problem can be approached with geometric tools, and what kinds of differential and algebraic geometry play a role when the material is anisotropic.
Integrating modelling domains for the patient digital twins
6.2.2025 | This webinar will be presented by Prof. Jari Hyttinen (Tampere University). Prof. Hyttinen’s Computational Biophysics and Imaging Group laboratory at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology develops novel computer simulations on cellular biophysics, body–on-chip technologies, and test tube environment 3D imaging methods for future personalised medicine.
Digital Geography Lab: Sustainable and greener cities with big data analytics and spatial modelling
5.12.2024 | This webinar will be presented by Prof. Tuuli Toivonen (University of Helsinki). Toivonen’s research focuses on understanding dynamics of people, places, and their interactions, with open/big data, spatial analytics, and machine learning approaches playing an important role. Her multidisciplinary Digital Geography Lab research team contributes to a wide range of research from urban geography, land use and transport planning to sustainability and conservation science.
FAME Director Tanja Tarvainen: Introducing Flagship of Advanced Mathematics for Sensing, Imaging and Modelling
7.11.2024 | In this augural event of the “15 Minutes of FAME” webinar series, the FAME Flagship’s Director, Prof. Tanja Tarvainen (University of Eastern Finland) introduces FAME’s guiding vision, involved partner organisations, goals, and expertise.
