TITLE:  Optimal Waveform Design for Array Imaging


SPEAKER:  Liliana Borcea

AFFILIATION:  Computational and Applied Mathematics, Rice University


This talk is concerned with an inverse problem for the wave equation. More
specifically, it considers coherent imaging of reflectors from
measurements of the echoes at a remote array of transducers. The main
question raised is how to design optimally the waveform used by the array
to illuminate the reflectors, so that the image has the best resolution.
