My research is in image processing, inverse problems, scientific computing and machine learning. To solve problems in these areas, I develop numerical tools for partial differential equations (PDE), variational problems, optimization, and data analysis.

Currently I am developing computational methods for shape analysis and shape reconstruction from direct and indirect measurements (e.g. by a camera, a microscope, a CT-scanner, etc). In the case of direct measurements (i.e. images), I solve the image segmentation problem, namely the problem of detecting objects, regions or boundaries in given images. In the case of indirect measurements, I deal with tomographic reconstruction or nondestructive testing. I have also been developing algorithms for statistical shape analysis based on the elastic shape dissimilarity metric.
Previously I developed and implemented numerical algorithms to enable simulations of nonlinear physics of material microstructures. This code is incorporated in the software package, Object-Oriented Finite Element Analysis of Microstructures (OOF), distributed by NIST (see OOF web page). I have also developed fast reconstruction algorithms for inverse problems governed by PDEs.
