Bayesian Inverse Problems: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications in Geosciences

Watch this prize lecture by Dr. Omar Ghattas from The University of Texas at Austin, recipient of the inaugural 2025 Ivo & Renata Babuška Prize. Learn about his groundbreaking interdisciplinary contributions to the theory and algorithms of Bayesian inverse problems and their high-impact applications across the geosciences. The 28-minute lecture was delivered at the 2025 SIAM Conference on Computational Science and Engineering (CSE25). Established in 2022 through a generous gift from Ivo and Renata Babuška, this SIAM prize is awarded biennially to recognize exceptional interdisciplinary work in mathematical modeling, numerical analysis, algorithms, and validation for engineering or scientific applications.
