Karsten Tabelow

Dr. Karsten Tabelow is a researcher at the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics in Berlin, Germany, affiliated with the group Stochastic Algorithms and Nonparametric Statistics. His work bridges mathematical statistics and biomedical imaging through advanced computational methods.

• PhD in physics (2001) and Diplom in physics (1997) from Freie Universität Berlin
• Key projects: Matheon grants F10 and A3 on biomedical imaging
• Current focus: adaptive smoothing, quantitative MRI, and nonparametric statistical modeling

His research has produced foundational contributions in neuroimaging software, including R packages adimpro, dti, fmri, and qmri, as well as SPM toolboxes like ACID-Toolbox and aws4SPM. He extends these methods to inverse problems in magnetic resonance and electron microscopy. Collaborations span neuroscience (Charité), semiconductor physics (Leibniz Institute), and biomedical engineering (Max Planck Institute). Recent work includes physics-informed data assimilation for intracranial pressure estimation and mathematical research data infrastructure through the MaRDI initiative under Germany's NFDI. Publications emphasize open science principles using R/knitr workflows.

Grants include Matheon projects and MaRDI development. Software contributions are distributed under GNU GPL within R and SPM ecosystems. Talks highlight applications in presurgical planning, in-vivo histology, and cross-disciplinary data management.
