  1. Institute Director: Prof. Heinz W. Engl Deputy Directors: Prof. Ulrich Langer, Prof. Hansjörg Albrecher General Information

  2. The Institute is named after the famous Austrian mathematician Johann Radon (1887-1956) Radon transform; Radon-Nikodym-Theorem …

  3. Mission & Mission Statement The Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics • does basic research in computational and applied mathematics according to highest international standards • obtains the motivation for its research topics also from challenges in other scientific fields and industry • emphasizes interdisciplinary cooperation between its workgroups and with institutions with similar scope and universities world-wide • cooperates with other disciplines in the framework of special semesters on topics of major current interest • wishes to attract gifted PostDocs from all over the world and to provide an environment preparing them for international careers in academia or industry • cooperates with universities by involving PhD-students into its research projects • promotes, through its work and reports about it, the role of mathematics in science, industry and society

  4. Research Groups The institute consists of 7 working groups, headed by the person(s) mentioned: • Computational Mathematics for Direct Field Problems (Prof. Ulrich Langer) • Inverse Problems (Prof. Heinz W. Engl) • Symbolic Computation (Prof. Josef Schicho) • Financial Mathematics (Prof. Hansjörg Albrecher, Prof. Walter Schachermayer) • Analysis of Partial Differential Equations (Prof. Peter Markowich, Prof. Christian Schmeiser) • Optimization and Optimal Control (Prof. Karl Kunisch) • Mathematical Imaging (Prof. Otmar Scherzer)
