Zekui Jia works on microwave imaging and inverse scattering, which involves reconstructing hidden properties of objects (such as their electrical material characteristics, or 'permittivity') from measured electromagnetic wave data. Much of this work develops mathematical and computational methods—like reduced-order models and iterative inversion techniques—to make these reconstructions faster, more accurate, and more robust, with applications such as imaging layered or buried materials and detecting metallic objects. A prospective student would be working on applied mathematics and computational techniques for solving inverse problems in electromagnetics and geophysics-related imaging.
Publication output has been relatively steady but modest over the last decade, with small fluctuations year to year and no clear long-term growth or decline, averaging about 2 publications per year over the last 5 years.
