Biography
Joachim Weickert is a Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at Saarland University in Saarbrücken, where he has headed the Mathematical Image Analysis Group since 2001.
He holds a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Kaiserslautern (1996) and a habilitation from the University of Mannheim (2001).
His research focuses on image processing, computer vision, and scientific computing.
He has developed highly efficient mathematical models and numerical algorithms for image restoration, segmentation, compression, stereo reconstruction, optical flow computation, as well as signal processing techniques for tensor fields. These tools have found applications in industry and medical imaging, among other fields, which has led Professor Weickert to establish interdisciplinary collaborations with colleagues in departments of medicine, bioinformatics, pharmacy, physics, mechanical engineering, and mechatronics.
Professor Weickert is the author of nearly 300 publications, with over 19,000 citations and more than 160 invited lectures. He is currently the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision and serves on the editorial board of 9 other journals. His work has earned him several scientific awards, including Germany's most prestigious research award, the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize.
