Research Field: Applied Analysis, Tomography and Image Reconstruction
Finch works on inverse problems, particularly those arising in medical imaging. He has worked on x-ray computed tomography, and is currently working on several problems arising in the medical imaging technique called thermoacoustic tomography. Mathematically, the problems can be phrased as the recovery of initial data for the wave equation from the values of the solution on a subset of the boundary.
