Hanson worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory from 1975 to 2004, and subsequently on a part-time basis until 2016. His research in image analysis has had applications in medical imaging and dynamic radiography. His research interests have included: ultrasound tomography for breast imaging long-tailed likelihood distributions of nuclear data uncertainty in neutron cross sections; Peelle’s pertinent puzzle combining inconsistent cross-section measurements coping with outliers in data sets in a consistent manner uncertainty assessment of simulation codes for their quantitative validation Bayesian methods for drawing inferences about models quasi-Monte Carlo; Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation (CVT) improved distributions sampling using CVTs uncertainty estimation using Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling Hamiltonian (hybrid) method for Markov Chain Monte Carlo solving ill-posed inverse problems tomographic reconstruction from limited data 3D tomographic reconstruction optical tomography proton tomography for medical imaging evaluation of reconstruction methods based on visual task performance model-based boundary localization in dynamic radiographs quantitative radiography and radiographic modeling Bayesian methods of tomographic reconstruction 2D and 3D deformable geometric models adjoint differentiation of computer codes optimization algorithms Ken Hanson’s Biographical Sketch , Résumé , Publications , and Presentations Ken’s photo albums: http://hansonhub.com/photoalbums/ In memory of Robert F.
