Mikko Salo

Mikko Salo is a Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics in the Faculty of Mathematics and Science at the University of Jyväskylä. His research focuses on mathematical analysis, geometry, and applications in inverse problems for partial differential equations.

• Research Themes: Inverse problems for PDEs (medical imaging), geometric inverse problems (seismic imaging), microlocal analysis, tensor tomography, and non-scattering phenomena.
• Awards: Recipient of an ERC Starting Grant and an ERC Consolidator Grant.
• Journals: Managing Editor of Inverse Problems and Imaging, and Editor for Annales Fennici Mathematici, Journal de l'École Polytechnique, and SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis.
• Collaborations: Part of the Finnish Centre of Excellence in Inverse Modelling and Imaging and the Flagship of Advanced Mathematics for Sensing, Imaging and Modelling (FAME).

His recent publications emphasize nonlinear PDEs, fractional calculus, and fixed-angle scattering, with methodological advances in Carleman estimates and microlocal analysis. Scientific contributions include geometric inverse problems on Riemannian manifolds and exponential instability in inverse problems.

Teaching spans advanced topics like Fourier analysis, complex analysis, and analysis on manifolds, with lecture notes on inverse problems, function spaces, and microlocal analysis.
