My research focuses on estimating the mechanical properties (e.g. stiffness) of soft tissues based on data from medical imaging and analyzing and quantifying the uncertainty inherent in said estimates. This is done by using the mathematical framework of inverse problems. A particular focus in my work is developing computational approaches that use the mathematical properties of the problem at hand to efficiently find the solution and inherent uncertainty.
