Dominique Zosso, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Mathematics
Research Interests
My research interests are variational and PDE methods, and efficient algorithms to solve inverse problems in imaging, computer vision, and related machine learning applications. There is a strong convergence between problems and methods in imaging on the one side, and data science and machine learning on the other side, and in my research I want to further explore these commonalities.
