Dustin Mixon

Dustin Mixon is Associate Professor of Mathematics at Ohio State University, specializing in applied harmonic analysis, compressed sensing, and frame theory. His research develops mathematical foundations for signal processing, including equiangular tight frames, optimal line packings, and phase retrieval guarantees.

Recent work addresses max filtering injectivity, Euclidean distortion of orbit spaces, and clustering algorithms via semidefinite programming. Mixon has contributed to the theory of numerically erasure-robust frames (NERFs) and deterministic matrix constructions with the restricted isometry property.

He co-authored papers on group-invariant packings and phase transitions in phase retrieval, solving open problems in combinatorial geometry. His blog 'Short, Fat Matrices' disseminates research on frame theory and compressed sensing.
