GEORGE PAPANICOLAOU Robert Grimmett Professor of Mathematics, Stanford University (650) 723-2081 papanicolaou@stanford.edu http://georgep.stanford.edu/~papanico/ Project 3–2: Robust Wireless Communications in Complex Environments Waves and diffusion in inhomogeneous or random media and in the mathematical analysis of multi-scale phenomena that arise in their study. Application to electromagnetic wave propagation in the atmosphere, underwater sound, waves in the lithosphere, diffusion in porous media. Linear and nonlinear waves and diffusion in direct and inverse problems. Assessing multi-pathing effects in communication systems, especially when time reversal arrays are used. |
