Computational Harmonic Analysis, Mathematical Data and Image Analysis

The main theme of my mathematical research is Computational Harmonic Analysis with a special focus on Mathematical Data Analysis and Image Processing. 

We are part of the Applied Harmonic Analysis Cluster (AHA).

I am Vice-Dean for Teaching at the Faculty of Mathematics and I co-organize the bi-annual conference on Applied Harmonic Analysis in Strobl/Austria.
