Optimal State and Parameter Estimation Algorithms and Applications to Biomedical Problems

In this talk, I will present an overview of recent works aiming at solving inverse problems (state and parameter estimation) by combining optimally measurement observations and parametrized PDE models. After defining a notion of optimal performance in terms of the smallest possible reconstruction error that any reconstruction algorithm can achieve, I will present practical numerical algorithms based on nonlinear reduced models for which we can prove that they can deliver a performance close to optimal. The proposed concepts may be viewed as exploring alternatives to Bayesian inversion in favor of more deterministic notions of accuracy quantification. I will illustrate the performance of the approach on simple benchmark examples and we will also discuss applications of the methodology to biomedical problems which are challenging due to shape variability.
