A Survey in Mathematics for Industry: Open problems in the qualitative approach to inverse electromagnetic scattering theory

We formulate a number of open problems for time-harmonic inverse electromagnetic scattering theory focusing on uniqueness theorems, the determination of the support of a scattering object and the determination of material parameters
