Background
- I am a Full Professor (W3) at the Department of Mathematics at RWTH Aachen, where I hold the chair for Analysis and its Applications. I mainly work in the fields of applied analysis, inverse problems and scientific machine learning. My research interests include stability analysis and regularization of inverse problems, applied harmonic analysis, phase retrieval and stability aspects of machine learning, including operator learning.
Miscellany
- We are building an exciting research group at RWTH Aachen! If you are interested in pursuing your PhD or a Postdoctoral position, please send your application to me!
