This work implements inverse methods in various polymer characterization problems. In the first topic, a new approach is proposed to infer the comonomer content using Crystaf method considering and quantifying the associated uncertainty. In the second topic, a comparison is carried out between various rheological probes (methods) to determine their sensitivity in long-chain branching (LCB) detection and measurement. In the last topic, an open-source software is implemented to infer continuous and discrete relaxation modulus. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Scientific Computing in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the
