Welcome to my webpage. I am a Ph.D student in the Electrical and the Computer Engineering department at the Duke University, Durham NC. I work with Prof. Rebecca Willett in the Network and Imaging Science Laboratory (NISLAB) and my research involves developing multiscale intensity estimation algorithms to address hyperspectral Poisson intensity estimation problems.
Hyperspectral imaging is the process of capturing the scene of interest at different wavelengths yielding measurements in two spatial dimensions and one spectral dimension. It is very useful in several applications such as astronomical imaging, remote sensing and biomedical applications. The key challenges in such imaging applications are that the amount of light reflected by the object of interest may be very low because of either a weak source or a large distance between the source and the detector. As a result, the number of photons observed at the detector is low, which in turn limits the estimation accuracy. My research involves addressing such photon-limited hyperspectral intensity estimation problems using suitable noise models and providing a theoretically and computationally tractable algorithm to perform reconstruction.
