Research Interests:

Current projects: Quantization of frame expansions, Quantization of compressed sensing measurements, Generalizations of the empirical mode decomposition

My current research focuses on both the mathematical and practical aspects of signal processing, including sparse approximation and compressed sensing. For example, I work on developing and analyzing algorithms for reconstruction from compressed sensing measurements. My current work also includes quantization of redundant representations and quantization of compressed sensing measurements. My research areas generally draw upon tools from information theory, probability theory, geometric functional analysis, and applied harmonic analysis.

Areas of Interest:

Compressed Sensing/Sparse Approximation
Quantization
Geometric Functional Analysis
Frame Theory
