Gunther Uhlmann is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Inverse problems and the theory of cloaking
Uhlmann is a Chilean-American mathematician renowned for his work on inverse problems — recovering a medium's hidden interior from external measurements — and for the mathematical theory of invisibility cloaking. His results on the Calderón problem and boundary rigidity have shaped fields from medical imaging to geophysics, earning him the Bôcher Prize and the Birkhoff Prize. He was born in Quillota to a Chilean mother and a German-Jewish father who fled Nazi Germany in 1939.
