For four days in August, the beautiful Schöntal Abbey united 16 students and 2 professors to delve into the topic of "Inverse Problems."

Participants were organized in groups, each of which carefully prepared subtopics, and presented them during the workshop, leading to in-depth discussions. 1/2

Abstract:
Geometric flows are ubiquitous! They describe the evolution of interfaces and surfaces in continuum mechanics, can be used for the classification of abstract manifolds, and even emerge in algorithms in data science and machine learning. In this talk, I will show various examples of geometric flows and highlight their common structure. Even in the simplest examples, singularities will inevitably appear. I will show how geometric measure theory allows to make the formal picture rigorous in the presence of these singularities.
