Research

My current research interests lie on inverse problems for Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). More precisely, I have been studying shape reconstruction problems arising from tomography, inverse scattering, and, more recently, linear elasticity. These projects focus on parameter recovery and developing computationally inexpensive, yet mathematically rigorous algorithms for non-destructive testing. 

Research Interests: Qualitative Methods, Tomography, Inverse Scattering, Linear Elasticity, Asymptotic Analysis, Numerical Analysis, and Signal Direction of Arrival Estimation.
