Research summary
AI-generated

Isaac Harris works in applied mathematics on inverse problems and wave scattering, developing mathematical and computational methods to determine the shape, material properties, or hidden defects of objects from indirect wave measurements (such as sound, electromagnetic, or bending/biharmonic waves). Much of the work involves 'sampling' and 'factorization' methods that use measured scattered-wave data to reconstruct unknown obstacles, cavities, or boundary conditions without needing to solve the full nonlinear inverse problem directly. This research has potential applications in areas like non-destructive testing of materials and imaging techniques such as radar or ultrasound.
