Research
We think critically and creatively.
The group's research interests in data science include
-
AI & machine learning (e.g., self-supervised learning, iterative neural networks, diffusion models, representation learning, & contrastive learning),
-
optimization (e.g., non-convex optimization, block optimization, & proximal gradient methods), and
-
sampling (e.g., compressed sensing & sampling optimization),
with past and current projects in computational imaging, computer vision, and image processing:
-
computational photography (e.g., light-field photography, depth estimation, & 3D reconstruction),
-
medical imaging (e.g., X-ray CT, MRI, PET, & SPECT),
-
vision-based autonomous systems (e.g., imitation learning, visual SLAM, & inter-vehicle distance estimation),
-
biomedical image computing (e.g., lung cancer diagnosis/prognosis prediction & microscopic image segmentation), and
-
digital healthcare (e.g., depression/ADHD diagnosis & motion estimation from foot pressure).
We are interested both in developing state-of-the-art AI & data science solutions for these problems, as well as improving fundamental understanding of these solutions.
