Mathematician Martin Burger, project leader in the Cells in Motion (CiM) Cluster of Excellence at WWU received around one million euros of funding for five years. With his team, he develops mathematical methods for image processing and for solving inverse problems. The latter involves drawing conclusions for the cause of an observed effect using mathematical models.One example of this is computer tomography, where an image of the inside of the body is generated by the attenuation of x-rays. The funded project is examining how to combine data and observed processes in biomedical imaging.
