The position will support the Research Center SFB 540 "Model-based Experimental Analysis of Kinetic Phenomena in Fluid Multi-phase Reactive Systems" project TP A9 "Accurate Quantification of Concentration Measurements by NMR". The candidate is expected to conduct a research program leading to a doctoral thesis in the area of inverse problems in magnetostatics. The primary tasks will be: * adaptation of the CATS partial differential equations solver XNS for electromagnetics applications, * adaptation of an optimization version of the solver XNS-SOPT for inverse problems, * evaluating available gradient-based optimization drivers and interfacing them with XNS, * performing numerical simulations to improve accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging concentration measurement experiments, * see http://www.cats.rwth-aachen.de:8080/pdf/sfb540-tpa9-poster.pdf for more details. Ideal candidate will have: * a completed degree (Diplom or M.S.) in Mathematics, Engineering or Physics, * experience with inverse design, optimal control or shape optimization, * experience in finite element modeling and parallel computing, * familiarity with UNIX operating system and Fortran or C programming, and * an ability to communicate well in both German and English. This project will be conducted in close collaboration with the Chair for Macromolecular Chemistry at the RWTH Aachen. Applications are being reviewed now. The position is expected to be filled in July 2005.

This is to let you know that of my book on inverse problems has been published in English. Grebennikov A. I. Spline Approximation Method and Its Applications. MAX Press, 2004. 100 p. ISBN 5-317-01051-9 Abstract Spline Approximation method for solution of a wide class of ill-posed problems is proposed. The method consists in combination of spline-collocation and special regularization with Recursive Smoothing. The general scheme for the operator equation of the first kind is proposed and justified theoretically. Concretizations for the problem of data processing and solution of integral equations of the first kind with singularity in the kernel are considered. The numerical algorithms and computer software are constructed for, solution of different applied incorrect problems. Advantages of developed method are demonstrated on the model numerical experiments. Presented results were used by author in postgraduate courses of lectures at the Faculty of Calculation Mathematics and Cybernetics of the Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia, and at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics Sciences of the Autonomous University of Puebla, Mexico. The work was realized in the frame of the International Program of Cooperation Mexico-Russia in Education and Science. It is possible to obtain full PS version of the book, totally free. The document can be send to you if you will present me your e-mail address.
