Short Bio

Evelyn Cueva received her Ph.D. degree in Engineering Sciences with a mention in mathematical modeling at the University of Chile and the Center of Mathematical Modelling (CMM-Chile) in 2019. She joined Yachay Tech in March 2020.

Summary of Interests

She works in Inverse Problems, mainly in image reconstruction problems related to biosciences. She has studied mathematical applications in single-photon emission tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), fluorescence microscopy, and multi-spectral computed tomography. She focuses her research on solving inverse problems using optimization techniques and variational methods.

Current Research projects

She is currently working in the project: High-resolution reconstruction in multi-spectral CT, in collaboration with Matthias Ehrhardt (University of Bath), Samuli Siltanen, and Alexander Meaney (University of Helsinki). A second project: Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy is in collaboration with Axel Osses and Pablo Arratia (University of Chile), Matias Courdurier (Catholic University of Chile), and Benjamin Palacios (University of Chicago).
