A significant part of the group’s work also addresses the challenges of inverse problems, particularly in stabilizing ill-posed problems using innovative regularization techniques. These approaches are applied in fields like medical imaging, geophysics, and materials science, where accurate solutions are often difficult to obtain due to noisy or incomplete data.ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý
