Areas of Research
I have long been dedicated to applying full waveform inversion to seismic imaging, and I have recently begun extending this approach to the inversion of medical data to provide high-resolution images for medical diagnosis.
Deep neural networks provide a universally adaptive function approximation framework. I am interested in integrating them with full waveform inversion and, based on various convenient development platforms (such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.), developing and researching fast, efficient, and stable parameter estimation and imaging algorithms as well as software packages.
