ANR-MN (Modèles Numériques) October 2013 - September 2017

The main goal is the methodological and numerical development of a new robust inversion tool, associated with the numerical solution of the electromagnetic forward problem, including the benchmarking of different other existing approaches (Time Reverse Absorbing Condition, Method of Small-Volume Expansions, Level Set Method). This project involves the development of a general parallel open source simulation code, based on the high-level integrated development environment of FreeFEm++, for modeling an electromagnetic direct problem, the scattering of arbitrary electromagnetic waves in highly heterogeneous media, over a wide frequency range in the microwave domain. The first applications considered here will be medical applications: microwave tomographic images of brain stroke, brain injuries, from both synthetic and experimental data in collaboration with EMTensor GmbH, Vienna (Austria), an Electromagnetic Medical Imaging company.
