16th SFB Internal Meeting in Strobl

From 1 to 5 July, the 16th SFB internal meeting was held in a nice venue at Wolfgangsee lake in Strobl. The summer meeting between SFB members is an opportunity to share recent progress in the eight different projects and future research directions. We were honoured to have three internationally renowned professors as invited speakers, Markus Grasmair, John Schotland, Ivo Ihrke, Andrea Aspri and Alina Boecker along with researchers and PhD students from Austrian institutions of excellence (RICAM, University of Vienna) and Germany.

During the meeting, we celebrated the 60th birthday of one of the SFB project leaders, Professor Otmar Scherzer.

Professor Otmar Scherzer is an internationally recognised mathematician known for his work in the fields of applied mathematics, particularly in inverse problems, imaging, and numerical analysis.
