Chris Metzler successfully defended his PhD thesis entitled Data-Driven Computational Imaging: With Application to Imaging Through and Around Obstacles.  He's pictured here at Rice's Valhalla pub performing the ritual "trimming of the tie" ceremony for new PhDs with Prof. Richard Baraniuk.  Chris' next stop is Stanford University for a postdoc with Prof. Gordon Wetzstein in the Stanford Computational Imaging Lab.
