Department of Mathematics - Special Colloquium - Electrical Impedance Tomography with Minimal Measurements

In this presentation, the speaker will provide a brief overview of the inverse problem of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT). The goal of EIT is to determine the conductivity distribution of a body from boundary measurements of electrical currents and voltages. Much is known about the problem, from uniqueness to difficulty in obtaining high-resolution images. This talk will focus on the simpler problem of determining a small conductivity anomaly from a few measurements. It will also attempt to address the question of optimal experiment design associated with the measurements.
