Research

The group research focuses on image processing and vision, graph signal processing and machine learning, as well as closely related fields such as network data analysis, distributed signal processing, image and video coding and immersive communications. We work at the frontier between signal processing, machine learning and applied mathematics, with a special interest for biomedical applications.
