Bio

Ming Yan's research lies on the intersection of parallel and distributed algorithms, signal and image processing, and inverse problems. He is particularly interested in developing optimization methods and their applications in sparse recovery and regularized inverse problems, variational methods for image processing, and parallel and distributed algorithms for solving big data problems. Currently, I am working on developing synchronous/asynchronous parallel optimization algorithms for large scale problems.
