My general research area is inverse problems and computational science. A major effort is invested in the problem of super-resolution, with applications to wave-based imaging at nanometer scale below the diffraction limit using prior knowledge, elimination of spurious artifacts, with provable guarantees. Theoretical aspects include deriving mathematical limits of resolution from noisy low-frequency data under different kinds of prior information, using tools from approximation theory, harmonic, nonlinear analysis, optimization and quantitative singularity theory. We also develop novel optimal computational methods, by identifying and localizing well-conditioned geometric features which can be stably recovered. Current collaborations with experts in bio-medical and super-resolution imaging, time-of-flight imaging.
