    Profile

    Yue M. Lu's teaching and research interests are in the area of mathematical signal processing. In particular he explores the broad themes of:

    • spatiotemporal sampling and processing of dynamic processes;
    • sparse sampling theory and practical compressive sensing;
    • inverse problems and computational imaging; and
    • the theory, constructions and applications of sparse representations for multidimensional data.

    Prior to coming to Harvard, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher and Lecturer at the School of Computer and Communication Sciences, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland.

    His awards and honors include Most Innovative Paper Award of IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP) in 2006; Student Paper Award of IEEE ICIP in 2007; Best Student Presentation Award, SIAM Southeastern-Atlantic Section Conference in 2007; Sundaram Seshu International Student Fellowship, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2007; and Frederic T. and Edith F. Mavis College of Engineering Fellowship, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2006.
