4:40 p.m., Jan. 13, 2005--Fioralba Cakoni, assistant professor of mathematical sciences at the University of Delaware, has been granted a Humboldt Research Fellowship by Germany’s Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.

Cakoni previously held a Humboldt Fellowship at the University of Stuttgart for two years from 1998-2000. The new fellowship grant will enable her to resume research in Germany, and she plans to work with Rainer Kress and his internationally recognized research group at the University of Goettingen that is working in scattering theory and inverse problems.

Cakoni will work on mathematical and computational aspects of electromagnetic imaging of buried objects in heterogeneous media, research that has applications in medical imaging, mine detection and nondestructive testing.
