Inverse Problems Network

Inverse problems, which seek to interpret indirect measurements of an unknown, arise in multiple contexts. The FAME Flagship has its roots in Finland’s vibrant inverse problems community and internationally leading research on inverse problems.

Mathematics in general, and inverse problems in particular, are instrumental for the modern data and algorithm-powered societies. As part of their efforts to push forward the next generations of skilled specialists in this essential field, the seven partner universities of FAME have set up the Inverse Problems Network, aiming to make their studies related to inverse problems available for all doctoral students across the network.  


The network is coordinated by the University of Jyväskylä. Registration to courses is possible via SISU or PEPPI.
