This Open for Business event is part of an INI programme on the Theory and Applications of Multiple Wave Scattering and aims to build links between mathematical formulations of wave scattering, in direct and inverse forms, and practical implementations, focussing on acoustic, elastic and electromagnetic waves. The event will explore the latest innovations in imaging, material characterisation and design of novel materials, related to a wide range of applications such as non-destructive testing of pipes, communications, food, water treatment, and defence.

Background 

The solution of problems in wave scattering is fundamental to the realisation of the potentially transformative innovations that can be achieved by manipulating wave behaviour, such as invisibility cloaks, faster communications, characterising materials, and many more. Contemporary mathematical challenges are extensive, ranging from the reconstruction of material properties and structure from scattered wave field data to methods for the design of electromagnetic, mechanical and acoustic metamaterials with desired functionality.
This workshop will showcase current applications and advances in the mathematics of wave scattering for direct and inverse problems. It will feature applications from food to defence, and themes from non-destructive testing to optical fibre design.
 

Aims & Objectives 

The event aims to bring together communities of practice and theory to address outstanding theoretical problems and progress the practical applications of the technologies.

A Programme is now available. The event will start with registration at 09:30am on Wednesday 31st May, with talks from 10.00am until 5.00pm, followed by a networking reception at 5.00pm – 6.00pm. All timings are BST (GMT+1).
