Parveen Kumar | Mathematics

About Me

I am a PhD Research Scholar in the Department of Mathematics at Indian Institute of Technology Ropar. I am working under the supervision of Dr. Manmohan Vashisth. My research focuses on inverse problems for partial differential equations, particularly uniqueness, reconstruction and stability results for coefficient identification problems.

Research Interests

Inverse Problems

Recovery of unknown coefficients and parameters from boundary measurements.

Partial Differential Equations

Analysis of heat equations, wave equations, Schrödinger equations and related PDE systems.

Integral Geometry

Inversion of the ray transform for establishing uniqueness and stability estimates in inverse problems.
