Research

We think critically and creatively.

The group's research interests in data science include

  • AI & machine learning (e.g., diffusion models, iterative neural networks, self-supervised learning, 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 and computer vision:

  • computational photography (e.g., light-field photography, video prediction, & 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. 

Principal Investigator:
