Abstract
:

Radar imaging is a technology that has been developed, very successfully, within the engineering community during the last 50 years.  Radar systems on satellites now make beautiful images of regions of our earth and of other planets such as Venus. One of the key components of this impressive technology is mathematics, and many of the open problems are mathematical ones. This lecture will explain, from first principles, some of the basics of radar and the mathematics involved in producing high-resolution radar images.

Speaker Bio:
Dr. Margaret Cheney is the Yates Chair and Professor of Mathematics at Colorado State University. She was elected as a SIAM Fellow in 2009 "for contributions to inverse problems in acoustics and electromagnetic theory". Read more here.

Intended Audience:
Undergraduates, graduates, and experts. Those with interest in the topic.

The Math Modeling Seminar will recur each week throughout the semester on the same day and time. Find out more about upcoming speakers on the Mathematical Modeling Seminar Series webpage.
