Bassam El Rawas
PhD Student · Image Processing & Applied Mathematics
EPFL — École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne
I am a second-year PhD student at the Biomedical Imaging Group at EPFL, supervised by Prof. Michael Unser and Prof. Dimitri Van De Ville. My work lies at the intersection of signal/image processing and applied mathematics. I am interested in inverse problems, in particular, in spline- and flow/transport-based methods for solving them.

Misc
I enjoy reading and going to the cinema. I've been playing the piano for over 14 years (mainly classical and romantic music), and I occasionally fold origami. I've also had the opportunity to live in 4 countries and travel to 22.
