CV for Per Christian Hansen

 

I have worked with numerical regularization methods for 30 years, have published 100+ papers in leading journals, and my books on numerical methods for inverse problems are widely used.

I have also developed several related software packages, of which Regularization Tools is a popular toolbox for analysis and solution of discrete inverse problems. More recent packages area AIR Tools II with algebraic iterative reonstruction methods, and IR Tools with iterative regularization methods and test problems.

My h-index is 54 according to Google Scholar (March 2023) and I am a SIAM Fellow.

Specialization.

Numerical analysis. Computational methods for inverse problems, imaging, and tomography. Matrix computations and iterative regularization methods. Subspace methods in regularization and signal processing. High-performance scientific computing. Computational uncertainty quantification.
