Rice Assistant Professor Ashok Veeraraghavan has received an NSF CAREER award for his project "A Signal Processing Framework for Computational Imaging: From Theory to Applications." The project will develop a signal processing framework to develop new imaging systems that see deeper into nature with enhanced microscopes and farther out through consumer cameras for bio-medical, remote sensing, machine vision, and surveillance applications. Since joining Rice from MERL in 2010, Ashok has made his mark at the university through his lab’s development of mobileVision, a simple device to monitor eye health, and FlatCam, a lens-less camera platform project with colleague Richard Baraniuk. Ashok has also been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure, effective July 2017.
