Jesse Railo

LUT University

Jesse Railo is an associate professor in applied mathematics at LUT University in Lappeenranta. He completed a Ph.D. degree with distinction at the University of Jyväskylä in 2019 and was the recipient of the Finnish Inverse Prize of 2020 for his doctoral thesis “Geodesic tomography problems on Riemannian manifolds”. Before returning back to Finland in 2023, he held postdoctoral positions at the Seminar for Applied Mathematics, ETH Zürich, and the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics, University of Cambridge. Railo completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Tampere in 2014 and was a visiting student at the University of Sheffield in 2011–2012. Railo specializes to the theory of mathematical models appearing in imaging sciences. His work often utilizes methods from harmonic analysis, partial differential equations and differential geometry. In the FAME Flagship, Railo will communicate research and mathematics to public audience and contribute to the mathematical foundations of inverse problems. He is also looking forward to start new research projects related to uncertainty quantification and application areas of inverse problems.
