We propose a new, two-stage algorithm for inverting strong gravitational lenses. The key to the algorithm is decoupling the effects of lens magnification and intrinsic structure in the background source in the appearance of lensed arcs.…
The observations in many applications consist of counts of discrete events, such as photons hitting a detector, which cannot be effectively modeled using an additive bounded or Gaussian noise model, and instead require a Poisson noise…

Galaxy clusters are considered as excellent probes for cosmology. For that purpose, their mass needs to be measured and their structural properties needs to be understood. We propose a method for galaxy cluster mass reconstruction which…
At the ILC, one has the possibility to search for SUSY in an model-independent way: The corner-stone of SUSY is that sparticles couple as particles. This is independent of the mechanism responsible for SUSY breaking. Any model will have one…
In 3-D reconstruction problems, the image data obtained from cryo electron microscopy is the projection of many heterogeneous instances of the object under study (e.g., a virus). When the object is heterogeneous but has an overall symmetry,…
Accurate reconstruction of the mass of a resonance decaying to a pair of $\tau$ leptons is challenging because of the presence of multiple neutrinos from $\tau$ decays. The existing methods rely on either a partially reconstructed mass,…
