Our role as TOOLMAKERS

We see our (= NUHAG's) role as that of a toolmaker for scientists in various branches of science doing data analysis, signal analysis, image processing, etc.;

OUR AIMS are therefore

1. Development of efficient algorithms

of practical use in signal analysis, based on profound mathematical methods;

To link pure mathematics with image processing

(proofs are seen as a guarantee of convergence, experimental insight leads to mathematical conjectures)

Interaction with colleagues from various sciences

(build models, exhibit hidden mathematical structure, and develop on this basis numerical solutions; talk to colleagues to learn what their needs are, and their methods)

To develop appropriate mathematical theories

(e.g. Gabor analysis, irregular sampling; covering simultaneously the discrete, continuous, and finite case in a unified terminology)

To show that the new tools actually work efficiently

(convince scientists from related fields that we provide more than heuristic suggestions or theoretical approaches)
