Marcelo Pereyra, visiting professor at Physics Laboratory

Associate Professor, Heriot-Watt University and Maxwell Institute for Mathematical Sciences, UK - Visiting Professor 2022-23 - April 8 to 29, 2023 - Inviting Researcher: Julián Tachella Marcelo Pereyra is Associate Professor of Statistics in the School of Mathematics and Computer Science at Heriot-Watt University and at the Maxwell Institute for Mathematical Sciences. His research focuses on new mathematical theories, methods and algorithms for solving complex inverse problems related to mathematical and computational imaging. His work focuses on new Bayesian analysis and computational approaches for imaging, and on the synergy between statistical paradigms, variational analysis and machine learning for imaging methodology development. He studied electronic engineering in Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Toulouse (France) and completed his PhD in signal processing at the Université de Toulouse in 2012. From 2012 to 2016, he has been Research Fellow in Statistics at the School of Mathematics, University of Bristol, funded by a Marie Curie Intra-European Career Development Fellowship, a Brunel Postdoctoral Fellowship in Statistics, a French Ministry of Defense Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. In 2019, he held a visiting professorship at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris during the "Mathematics of Imaging" term. Dr. Pereyra's stay in the Signals, Systems and Physics (SiSyPh) team at the Physics Laboratory of ENS de Lyon will be beneficial to all team members, as he has significant experience in several of the areas where SiSyPh conducts research activities.
