Scientific Interests
My main research lies in mathematical imaging and optimization. In particular, I am interested in combining mathematical modeling with data-driven machine learning strategies with a focus on
- compressed sensing and sparse regularization.
- machine learning and information geometry.
Current Research
- Geometric Data Labeling and Assignment Flows
- Multilevel Optimization
- Structured Regularization for Inverse Problems
- Geometry of Multiplicative Iterative Solvers
- Tomography From Few Projections: Theory and Algorithms
