Tristan van Leeuwen appointed as Professor of Computational Inverse Problems

Tristan van Leeuwen poses next to a lamp that illustrates the layeredness of his research. Utrecht University has announced the appointment of Tristan van Leeuwen as professor of Computational Inverse Problems, starting from October 1 . In this new role, Van Leeuwen focuses on unraveling the underlying mathematics of imaging techniques. His primary goal is to improve the application of these techniques in healthcare and geosciences, but his research methods are applicable across a wide range of disciplines. One of his driving motivations is to make mathematics approachable for all. Is mathematics too abstract? Not according to Tristan van Leeuwen. The newly appointed professor at the Mathematical Institute sees mathematics as a versatile tool that can be applied in nearly every scientific field to address very concrete problems.
