My research is primarily concerned with the theoretical analysis of inverse problems, motivated by applications in medical imaging, geophysics, and industrial settings. In particular, I focus on the study of inverse problems using tools from partial differential equations, differential geometry, functional analysis, and microlocal analysis. I am also interested in the development and implementation of numerical algorithms to complement and visualize theoretical results.
