About my work
My work is interdisciplinary, at the intersection of artificial intelligence and physics. I lead PI-Vision (Physics-Informed Vision & Imaging), a research group developing new imaging systems and physics-aware algorithms for inverse problems across astronomy, Earth observation, and the physical sciences.
I hold appointments in the Department of Computer Science, the David A. Dunlap Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics, and the Dunlap Institute for Astronomy & Astrophysics. PI-Vision is part of the Toronto Computational Imaging Group.
My work is supported by the Ontario Research Fund (ORF) and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).
