Frank Natterer (20 July 1941) is a German mathematician. He was born in

ultrasonic imaging.[1][2]

Career

After studies at the Universities of

Westfälische Wilhelms Universität, Münster, Germany, from 1981 until he retired from active teaching in 2006.[4]

In 2002, he received an honorary doctorate at Universität des Saarlandes in recognition of his leading role and achievements in the field of mathematical methods in imaging.[1][5]

He has published close to 100 scientific papers and two books and is in possession of numerous patents.[6]

Scientific work

In 1975, Natterer proved pointwise convergence of

computed tomography
are:

Natterer’s scientific work has been very relevant in the development of modern methods of imaging in

Ultrasonic Imaging and positron emission tomography (PET).[8][12]

Service to the scientific community

From 1995 to 1999, Natterer was the honorary editor of the journal Inverse Problems and since 2000 he has been a member of the "International Advisory Panel of Inverse Problems".[13] Since 1997, he has been on the editorial board of The Journal of Fourier Analysis and Applications.[14] He has also been involved with "IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging", "Journal of Inverse and Ill-Posed Problems", "International Journal of Imaging Systems and Technology", and the SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics.

He was member of the Committee on the Mathematics and Physics of Emerging Dynamic Biomedical Imaging of the National Research Council of the USA.[15]

Natterer has organized numerous conferences on the topics of

Mathematical Research Institute of Oberwolfach. He was a faculty member in numerous scientific summer schools.[20][21]

Other work

Frank Natterer is a member of the German Proust Society[22] and has published an article on Proust and mathematics.[23]

Personal life

He has been married to Renate Natterer since 1967. They have two adult sons. He is the father in law of Chinese singer Karen Mok.[24]
