  • Biography

    Yanting's research interests are mainly in algorithm design and analysis for inverse problems arising in computational sensing using statistical inference and optimization techniques. Additionally, she is generally interested in applied probability and convex analysis. Her PhD research focused on algorithmic and theoretical studies of approximate message passing, as well as provably convergent optimization algorithms for nonlinear diffractive imaging. Her postdoctoral work developed principled methods for dead time compensation for single-photon detectors based on Markov chain modeling.

    • SP1551: Algorithms for Large-Scale Optimal Transport

      The Computational Sensing team at MERL is seeking motivated individuals to develop scalable optimal transport algorithms. Ideal candidates should be Ph.D. students with research experience in optimal transport and scalable optimal transport algorithms. Experience with GPU implementations is a plus. Publication of the results produced during our internships is expected. The duration of the internships is anticipated to be 3 months. Start date is flexible. This internship is preferred to be onsite at MERL, but may be done remotely where you live if the COVID pandemic makes it necessary.
