Research
Dr. Ziqi Sun studies inverse problems in partial differential equations and related topics with conformal geometry. His research areas include inverse boundary value problems for elliptic equations and the inverse scattering theory. A number of classical issues related the the isotropic and anisotropic Calderon's problems and the inverse scattering problems with scalar and vector potentials have been solved by Sun and his collaborators. His current research is concentrated in a nonlinear type of inverse boundary value problems that arise naturally in nonlinear materials and the nonlinear elasticity theory. A geometric framework has been developed to link the nonlinear problems to the existing linear theory that leads to a number of uniqueness results for the nonlinear anisotropic elliptic inverse boundary value problems.
