Summary
Salman Asif is an associate professor and researcher in electrical and computer engineering with 13+ years of experience spanning academia and industry, focused on machine learning, computational and medical imaging, compressive sensing, and convex optimization. He holds a Ph.D. from Georgia Tech and has translated theory into practice through roles at Samsung Research America and internships at MERL and Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs, plus consulting for Amazon Lab126. His work blends signal and image processing with practical imaging systems—examples include lens-free imaging, light-field and multiview camera algorithms, and sparse-reconstruction methods for MRI and other medical modalities. Known for developing low-complexity, structure-preserving algorithms (e.g., streaming compressive sensing and biconvex phase retrieval), he bridges fast-moving industrial constraints and rigorous academic analysis. Based in the Los Angeles area, he combines deep theoretical grounding with hands-on system building, mentoring students and driving translational research at UC Riverside.
