Lorenz Kuger

Lorenz is a PhD student in the computational imaging group at DESY, with an affiliation also at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg. His work is concerned with inverse problems, in particular image reconstruction in gamma-ray emission or transmission imaging setups. On the theoretical side, he is interested in optimization methods and sampling methods, their connections and the potential applications in computational inverse problems.

Lorenz’s background lies in applied mathematics, specifically in the field of inverse problems and mathematical modelling. Before joining the group at DESY, he graduated in mathematics from Universität Würzburg and in applied mathematics from the University of Cambridge before being based as a PhD student at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg for the first two years of his PhD studies.
