Research Summary

Dissertation: "Source detection and image reconstruction with position-sensitive gamma-ray detectors"
Advisor: Professor Jeffrey A. Fessler

My research at the Univeristy of Michigan focuses on methods of approximating estimation and detection performance in applications where the data is recorded with complex sensors. I am currently applying performance approximation methods to position-sensitive gamma-ray detectors, an application where the number of measurements is Poisson and model mismatch is often present. I am working with the Radiation Measurement Group at the University of Michigan to test the performance approximation methods with real data.

I also work on regularization design and minimization algorithms for image reconstruction with Poisson data.

My work in gamma-ray detection and imaging is motivated by a broad interest in algorithms for extracting data from noisy measurements and their performance. I look forward to expanding my work to incorporate other types of data and sensors in the future.
