Nicolas Ducros

Nicolas Ducros is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at INSA Lyon and a researcher at the Biomedical Imaging Laboratory (CREATIS), University of Lyon, France. He is also a junior member of the Academic Institute of France.

• Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) focusing on computational methods for medical imaging over the last decade

His research focuses on image processing and inverse problems in medical imaging, with recent contributions to hyperspectral imaging and single-pixel imaging systems. His work integrates advanced mathematical techniques for optimizing image reconstruction algorithms.

Notable contributions include:

• Development of SPIRiT (Single-Pixel Image Reconstruction Toolbox), enabling simulation of single-pixel camera acquisition/reconstruction pipelines
• Creation of Bayesian completion methods for missing data reconstruction (2020)
• Innovations in semi-nonnegative matrix factorization for pattern generalization (2018)
• Adaptive basis scan techniques using wavelet prediction (2017)

His publications demonstrate expertise in merging computational imaging with machine learning approaches, particularly for biomedical applications. The work has been disseminated through open-source software tools in MATLAB.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Best Thesis Award from IEEE EMBS (2010)
• Best Thesis Award from SFGBM (2010)
