Eric Quinto

Eric Quinto is a Professor of Mathematics at Tufts University, holding the Robinson Professorship in Mathematics within the School of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on tomography, inverse problems, and microlocal analysis, with notable contributions to limited data tomography and applications in medical and seismic imaging. Quinto earned his PhD from MIT in 1978 and an AB from Indiana University in 1973.

His work combines integral geometry, harmonic analysis, and microlocal analysis to address challenges in reconstructing object interiors from indirect data. Key contributions include developing paradigms for visible features in limited data scenarios and analyzing artifacts in tomographic reconstructions. He collaborates on algorithms for electron microscopy, radar, sonar, and ultrasound, leveraging microlocal analysis to refine imaging techniques.

Quinto has led multiple NSF-funded initiatives, including the VERSEIM-REU program for underrepresented undergraduates. He has authored over 135 publications and co-edited volumes such as Microlocal Analysis and Inverse Problems in Tomography and Geometry. His honors include American Mathematical Society (AMS) Fellowships (2024, 2025) and multiple recognitions as Professor of the Year.

His research also extends to radar and seismic imaging, with recent work on Kirchhoff migration formulas and stability in generalized Radon transforms. He has organized major conferences including the 'Modern Challenges in Imaging' symposium honoring Nobel laureate Allan Cormack.
