While attending and serving as co-organizer of a conference on Geometry and Inverse Problems at the Banff International Research Station (BIRS) this month, Gunther Uhlmann gave a public lecture on Harry Potter's Cloak. The talk, part of the Banff Centre's Leading Ideas Speaker Series, focused on the science behind the invisibility cloak worn by the title character of the Harry Potter novels.
