Hello world, this is Tak Ming. I am a scientist at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon working at the outstation located at DESY, Hamburg. Currently, I’m a member of Imaging and Data Science Department of the Institute of Metallic Biomaterials and a member of the X-Ray Imaging with Synchrotron Radiation Department of the Institute of Materials Physics.

Prior to this, I completed my doctoral research at the Computer Graphics and Multimedia Systems Group under the supervision of Prof. Andreas Kolb and the co-supervision of Prof. Peter Haring Bolívar at the University of Siegen in May 2023.

Research Interests

I am interested in non-convex optimization, deep learning, computational imaging, computer graphics and computer vision. Most of my research is about applying computational approaches to image analysis for imaging modalities, such as synchrotron radiation-based micro-/nano- computed tomography, Terahertz (THz) imaging, Time-of-Flight, hyperspectral imaging, etc.

Currently, I’m working on topics involving: (un-/self-)supervised deep learning, optical flow, digital volume correlation, phase retrieval, parameter estimation, computed tomography.
