Scientific Interests
My main research lies in Mathematical Imaging and Optimization. In particular, I am interested in Compressed Sensing as well as Variational Inequalities and Complementarity Problems, and how, using these tools, structures of signal- and data-generating models can be exploited in Image Analysis and Inverse Problems.
Current Research
- Tomography From Few Projections: Theory and Algorithms
- Compressed Motion Sensing with Application to Dynamic Tomo PIV and Echo PIV
- Structured Regularization for Multi-Channel Signal Recovery
- Geometry of Multiplicative Iterative Solvers
- Graphical Model Parameter Learning by Inverse Linear Programming
- Geometric Image Labeling
