Timothy Duff

Timothy Duff is an Assistant Professor in the Mathematics Department at the University of Missouri's College of Arts and Science. He co-organizes the Math & Data Seminar and specializes in applied computational algebraic geometry for 3D reconstruction in computer vision.

Research integrates algebraic geometry with machine learning and numerical analysis to solve geometric problems in imaging systems. Core interests include multi-view geometry, minimal solvers, and certified numerical methods.

Recent publications emphasize efficient algorithms for camera calibration, 3D reconstruction, and polynomial system solving. Work frequently develops tools in Macaulay2 and addresses theoretical challenges in computer vision through algebraic frameworks.
