Statistical signal and image processing, inverse problems, and computational imaging

Research Interests

Statistical Signal & Image Processing

Bayesian estimation, hierarchical models, MCMC methods, and variational inference for signal and image analysis.

Inverse Problems

Regularization techniques, proximal algorithms, ADMM, and optimization-based approaches for ill-posed problems.

Computational Imaging

Model-based deep learning, unrolling, plug-and-play priors, diffusion models, and generative approaches.

Enhanced & Robust Sensing

Single-photon imaging, LiDAR, hyperspectral imaging, altimetry, and multi-modal sensor fusion.
