Microstructure reconstruction is a key enabler of process-structure–property linkages, central topic in materials engineering. Revisiting classical optimization-based techniques, they are recognized as powerful framework to reconstruct random heterogeneous media, especially due their generality and controllability. The stochasticity the available approaches is, however, identified performance b...

The author of this document, Bill Harvey, was involved in many of the major developments in this field, and so this history is written from the author’s personal perspective. However, a more complete picture would require interviews with others so as to round out the total history of media optimization. In its present form, this document is solely intended for use in building internal consensus...

Researchers add serum to a classical medium at concentrations of 5 to 10% (v/v) to grow cellsin-vitro culture media. Unfortunately, serum is a poorly defined culture medium componentas its composition can vary considerably while serum-free cell culture media are an excellentalternative to standard serum-containing media and offer several major advantages. Advantagesof us...

Media streaming over the Internet is becoming increasingly popular. Currently, most media is delivered using global content-delivery networks, providing a scalable and robust client-server model. However, content delivery infrastructures are expensive. One approach to reduce the cost of media delivery is to use peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks, where nodes share responsibility for delivering...

We study an inverse problem for the wave equation where localized wave sources in random scattering media are to be determined from time resolved measurements of the waves at an array of receivers. The sources are far from the array, so the measurements are a↵ected by cumulative scattering in the medium, but they are not further than a transport mean free path, which is the length scale charact...
