This is the 23rd in the series of National and International Meetings on Inverse Problems that were initiated at Michigan State University in 1988. The new name reflects the breadth of research of the attendees to these symposia. Papers are solicited from all areas involving inverse methods and their applications. The symposium is organized in a single session format to foster cross-disciplinary interaction. Solicited topics include:

Late-breaking news: Student Travel Funding is available for IPS 2010! Funding is available from National Science Foundation Thermal Transport Processes Program.

Eligibility:

  1. Must be a graduate student at a U.S. university (Michigan State University students are not eligible).
  2. Must be working in engineering or food science aspects of heat transfer.
  3. Must submit a statement by April 30th to dolank@msu.edu expressing why you wish to attend IPS 2010.
