Cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) is a device to study the 3D structure of molecules. For a given type of molecule, we freeze samples rapidly in a thin layer of ice (without crystals). We take tomographic images of each sample to obtain a large collection of 2D images. The goal of the Cryo-EM problem is to reconstruct the 3D structure of the molecule from those 2D images. In this talk, we first present the Hadani - Singer model for the Cryo-EM problem and then we review necessary results from algebraic topology. Lastly, we relate the data obtained from 2D projection images to the cohomology of a two dimensional simplicial complex with coefficient in SO(2). This is a joint work with Lek-Heng Lim.
