Barbara Kaltenbacher

The main emphasis of my research lies in Inverse Problems and their regularization, where I have co-authored three monographs and contributed about 100 papers. As this also requires modeling, analysis and numerics of the corresponding forward problems, I got involved in several application related topics such as piezoelectricty, hysteresis in magnetics and ferroelectrics, and nonlinear acoustics; the latter has become another focus of my research with a monograph co-authorship and more than 30 papers so far.
