Lothar Reichel

Lothar Reichel is Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Kent State University, specializing in Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing. His research focuses on developing computational methods for large-scale problems in linear algebra and inverse problems.

Research domains include:

• Algorithms for ill-posed inverse problems and image restoration
• Large-scale eigenvalue and singular value computations
• Iterative methods for linear systems
• Orthogonal polynomials and quadrature rules
• Structured matrix computations

Professor Reichel founded the first electronic mathematics journal, Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis (ETNA), featuring innovative publication approaches including interactive numerical experiments. He has organized numerous conferences on numerical linear algebra and inverse problems.
