Deep Learning for Computational Imaging

Reinhard Heckel, Professor of Machine Learning (Tenured Associate Professor), Technical University of Munich

Reinhard Heckel is a Professor of Machine Learning (Tenured Associate Professor) at the Department of Computer Engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), and adjunct faculty at Rice University, where he was an assistant professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering from 2017-2019. Before that, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research Lab at UC Berkeley, and before that a researcher at IBM Research Zurich. He completed his PhD in 2014 at ETH Zurich and was a visiting PhD student at Stanfords University's Statistics Department. Reinhard's work is centered on machine learning, artificial intelligence, and information processing, with a focus on developing algorithms and foundations for deep learning, particularly for medical imaging, on establishing mathematical and empirical underpinnings for machine learning, and on the utilization of DNA as a digital information technology.
