About me

I am a Novikov Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Maryland.

I completed my Ph.D. in March 2022 at ETH Zurich under the supervision of Prof. Rima Alaifari with the thesis "Unknown pleasures: phase retrieval for time-frequency and time-scale structured data". I earned a Master of Science in Applied Mathematics in 2017 and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 2016 (both from ETH Zurich).

My research interests lie primarily in the area of applied harmonic analysis: in particular, I focus on phase retrieval and similar problems.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me at wellersm (at) umd (dot) edu.
