معرفی
Andreas Velten is an Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, holding primary affiliation with the Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics and additional affiliations with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He directs the Computational Optics Group, focusing on developing advanced imaging systems that leverage ultra-fast cameras and computational methods to enable imaging in challenging environments (e.g., around corners, through scattering media, or during surgery).
Education: PhD in Physics from the University of New Mexico (under Prof. Jean-Claude Diels), followed by postdoctoral research at MIT Media Lab’s Camera Culture Group.
Research interests include computational imaging, time-of-flight imaging, applied optimization, and medical imaging applications. His work addresses imaging through fog, tissue diagnosis, and surgical guidance systems.
Awards:
- MIT TR35 Innovator (2012)
- National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2018)
- UW-Madison Vilas Associates Award (2020)
Advising/Grants: No listed advisees, but he has secured grants such as the Air Force Young Investigator Award and NSF CAREER support. Co-founder of OnLume (surgical imaging) and Ubicept (single-photon imaging).
Labs/Teams: Leads the Computational Optics Group, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations in optical engineering and medical technology.
