Research

Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb is a lecturer at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. Her research interests range from nonlinear partial differential equations to computational- and convex analysis, with applications in digital image- and signal processing. She studies fourth-order equations and nonsmooth optimization problems, like the total variation functional, for image reconstruction, especially for what is called image inpainting. Moreover, she works on computational methods for large-scale problems appearing in 3- and 4-D imaging. Within this context she is interested in both the theoretical and numerical analysis of the problems considered as well as their practical implementation and their use for real-world applications like arts restoration and medical imaging.
