TILOS Seminar with Maarten de Hoop
Title and abstract coming soon…
Professor Maarten V. de Hoop, Simons Chair in Computational and Applied Mathematics and Earth Science at Rice University, is internationally recognized for his contributions to the mathematical foundations of seismology, wave propagation, and inverse problems. His research bridges microlocal and harmonic analysis, scattering theory, and structured numerical methods with applications to seismic imaging, geophysical inversion, and large-scale computational modeling of acoustic, elastic, and electromagnetic phenomena. De Hoop has been a pioneer in developing techniques to extract subtle information from massive, complex seismic datasets, advancing our ability to probe the Earth’s interior with unprecedented resolution, and more recently has integrated deep learning and data-driven discovery with rigorous mathematical frameworks to open new frontiers in the analysis of multiscale wave phenomena and inverse spectral problems. He is the recipient of the J. Clarence Karcher Award from the Society of Exploration Geophysicists and the Young Scientists Award from the International Society for Analysis, its Applications and Computation, has been elected a Fellow of the Institute of Physics and an External Member of the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters, and has served as associate editor for Inverse Problems, Inverse Problems and Imaging, and the International Journal on Geomathematics.
