Kenneth M. Hanson worked at the Los Alamos
National Laboratory from 1975 to 2010. His research in image analysis has had applications in medical imaging and dynamic radiography. His research interests have included:
-
uncertainty in neutron cross sections; Peelle's pertinent puzzle
-
combining inconsistent cross-section measurements
-
coping with outliers in data sets in a consistent manner
-
uncertainty assessment of simulation codes for their quantitative validation
-
Bayesian methods for drawing inferences about models
-
quasi-Monte Carlo; Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation (CVT)
-
uncertainty estimation using Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling
-
Hamiltonian (hybrid) method for Markov Chain Monte Carlo
-
solving ill-posed inverse problems
-
tomographic reconstruction from limited data
-
3D tomographic reconstruction
-
optical tomography
-
proton tomography for medical imaging
-
evaluation of reconstruction methods based on visual task performance
-
model-based boundary localization in dynamic radiographs
-
quantitative radiography and radiographic modeling
-
Bayesian methods of tomographic reconstruction
-
2D and 3D deformable geometric models
-
adjoint differentiation of computer codes
-
optimization algorithms
