Kenneth M. Hanson worked at the Los Alamos
National Laboratory from 1975 to 2004, and subsequently on a part-time basis until 2016. His research in image analysis has had applications in medical imaging and dynamic radiography. His research interests have included:
-
ultrasound tomography for breast imaging
-
long-tailed likelihood distributions of nuclear data
-
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)
-
improved distributions sampling using CVTs
-
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
