Statistical microlocal analysis in two-dimensional X-ray CT
In many imaging applications it is important to assess how well the edges of the original object, $f$, are resolved in an image, $f^\text{rec}$, reconstructed from the measured data, $g$. In this paper we consider the case of image reconstruction in 2D X-ray Computed Tomography (CT). Let $f$ be a function describing the object being scanned, and $g=Rf + η$ be the Radon transform data in $\mathbb{R}^2$ corrupted by noise, $η$, and sampled with step size $\simε$. Conventional microlocal analys…

3D Holographic Flow Cytometry Measurements of Microalgae: Strategies for Angle Recovery in Complex Rotation Patterns
Marine ecosystems are in the spotlight, because environmental changes are threatening biodiversity and ecological functions. In this context, microalgae play key ecological roles both in planktonic and benthic ecosystems. Consequently, they are considered indispensable targets for global monitoring programs. However, due to a high spatial and temporal variability and to difficulties of species identification (still relying on microscopy observations), the assessment of roles played by these com…

Some of my finest work.

Long-term performance of intracortical microelectrode arrays in 14 BrainGate clinical trial participants
Brain–computer interfaces have enabled people with paralysis to control computer cursors, operate prosthetic limbs, and communicate through handwriting, speech, and typing. Most high-performance demonstrations have used silicon microelectrode "Utah" arrays to record brain activity at single neuron resolution. However, reports so far have typically been limited to one or two individuals, with no systematic assessment of the longevity, decoding accuracy, and day–to–day stability properties …

A GPU Code for Finding Microlensing Critical Curves and Caustics
Advancements in analyses of caustic crossing events in gravitationally microlensed quasars and supernovae can benefit from numerical simulations which locate the caustics in conjunction with the creation of magnification maps. We present a GPU code which efficiently solves this problem; the code is available at https://github.com/weisluke/microlensing/. We discuss how the locations of the microcaustics can be used to determine the number of caustic crossings and the distances to caustics, both …

Fractal algorithm for multiple lens analyses
A microlensing exoplanet search is a unique method for finding planets orbiting distant stars. However, in the past, the method used to analyze microlensing data could not deal with complex lens systems. The number of lenses was limited three or less. Positions calculations of images and integration of them suffered from severe round-off errors because of singularities. We developed a new algorithm to calculate the light curves of multiple lens systems. In this algorithm, fractal-like consecuti…

HST pre-imaging of a free-floating planet candidate microlensing event
High-cadence microlensing observations uncovered a population of very short-timescale microlensing events, which are believed to be caused by the population of free-floating planets (FFP) roaming the Milky Way. Unfortunately, the light curves of such events are indistinguishable from those caused by wide-orbit planets. To properly differentiate both cases, one needs high-resolution observations that would allow resolving a putative luminous companion to the lens long before or after the event. …

Rootin' Tootin' Efficient Ray Shootin': Creating Microlensing Magnification Maps with GPUs
The impending discovery and monitoring of hundreds of new gravitationally lensed quasars and supernovae from upcoming ground and space based large area surveys such as LSST, \textit{Euclid}, and \textit{Roman} necessitates the development of improved numerical methods for studying gravitational microlensing. We present in this work the fastest microlensing map generation code currently publicly available. We utilize graphics processing units to take advantage of the inherent parallelizable natu…
