Carola-Bibiane Schoenlieb (Cambridge U.) is one of the recipients of this years’ Van Wijngaarden Awards, for her work on mathematical and AI methods for image analysis.

To celebrate her pioneering work on the frontier of mathematics and AI, we are organising a symposium to highlight new developments on the interface of Calculus of Variations and Inverse Problems. Special guest at the symposium is Carola-Bibiane Schoenlieb (Cambridge). There will be ample opportunities for interactive discussion as well.

It is co-organised with the SAG on Calculus of Variations. The symposium will take place on November 19 (afternoon) at CWI, Amsterdam. The symposium is free of charge after registration, please register here.
