Biography

Manfred Trummer is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Simon Fraser University. He has a Ph.D. in Mathematics from ETH Zurich, obtained in 1983. His research interests include computational methods in medical imaging, particularly image reconstruction problems in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and numerical methods for differential equations. Trummer's work involves addressing ill-posed problems that necessitate the inclusion of additional information, typically resolved through iterative processes. He focuses on high-order methods for solving differential equations, such as spectral collocation and radial basis function methods, which, while being highly accurate, face challenges related to stability restrictions and sensitivity to round-off errors. Trummer has contributed insights into adaptive solution methods required for numerous problems in applied mathematics.
