Nada Sissouno

Nada Sissouno is a Professor of Mathematics and Didactics of Mathematics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Media and Informatics at Amberg-Weiden University of Applied Sciences since November 2023. She also serves as Vice Dean and Co-head of the Competence Center Grundlagen (CCG). Additionally, she maintains a position as a guest researcher at the Research Group: Applied and Numerical Analysis and Optimization and Data Analysis at the Technical University of Munich (TUM).

Her educational background includes a Doctorate in Mathematics (Dr. rer. nat.) from TU Darmstadt (2007-2011) and a Diplom in Mathematics with a minor in psychology from TU Darmstadt (2000-2007). She has completed further education as a Diversity Manager in 2021 and holds certificates in teaching in higher education from the Bavarian Universities (2014-2016).

Professor Sissouno's research focuses on mathematical methods in signal and image processing, data science, dynamical systems, numerical simulation, and approximation theory. Her work particularly emphasizes spline functions on domains, wavelets and frames, and evidence-based development of teaching methodologies. Her recent publications demonstrate strong expertise in mathematical imaging, phase retrieval problems, and approximation theory, with applications spanning ptychographic imaging, variational inpainting methods, and structural sparsity in multiple measurements.

Her collaborative research bridges theoretical mathematics with practical applications in signal processing and image analysis, with a particular focus on developing robust numerical algorithms for complex data analysis problems. She has published in prestigious journals including Advances in Computational Mathematics, Journal of Fourier Analysis and Applications, IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, and Inverse Problems.
