AIP 2025 12th Applied Inverse Problems Conference|CMM

July 28 – August 01, 2025
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The 12th edition of the AIP Conference will be held at FGV EMAp, Rio de Janeiro, from July 28 to August 1, 2025, and it will gather academics, practitioners, and students working in the area.

Inverse Problems deal with the reconstruction of quantities of interest from indirect observations. They occur in medical imaging, non-destructive testing, geophysical exploration, astrophysical imaging, many high-resolution microscopy techniques, data mining, finance, econometrics, and other fields. Research on Inverse Problems combines techniques from mathematical analysis, differential geometry, numerical analysis, machine learning, image processing, scientific computing, and computer science.

The Applied Inverse Problems (AIP) conferences are organized biannually, the first one was held in Montecatini (2001). AIP have become the largest conference series in the field. The last meetings of this series took place in College Station, Texas (2011), Daejeon (2013), Helsinki (2015), Hangzhou (2017), Grenoble (2019), and Götingen (2023). Hosting the first AIP in Latin America, as well as in the Southern Hemisphere, is a unique opportunity to disseminate Inverse Problems research in the Brazilian and Latin American mathematical community.
