Lukas Liehr, B.Sc. M.Sc.
Lukas Liehr studied Mathematics at the Technical University of Munich and Seoul National University. He received his Master's degree with high distinction from the Technical University of Munich where Analysis and PDE were his selected focus of studies. Afterwards, he worked as a research assistant at Helmholtz Centre Munich. His current research focuses on the infinite-dimensional Gabor phase retrieval problem. He investigates this problem by using techniques from Functional Analysis and Harmonic Analysis. Moreover, he is interested in the design of stable algorithms for phase retrieval.
Dipl.-Ing. Michael Scherbela, M.Sc.
Michael Scherbela studied physics at the Graz University of Technology, specializing in computational physics. He joined the group in 2020 and is currently pursuing his PhD in mathematics, primarily conducting research on applications of deep learning methods to problems in the natural sciences. In particular he is interested in developing neural-network-based methods to find solutions to the Schrödinger equation, which lies at the heart of computational chemistry and quantum physics. To tackle this problem he combines existing quantum chemistry approaches with deep-neural networks, designs new network architectures for unsupervised learning, and optimizes existing approaches.
DI DI Dr.techn Georg Tauböck
Georg Tauböck received the Dipl.-Ing. degree and the Dr.techn. degree (with distinction) in Electrical Engineering/Telecommunications and the Dipl.-Ing. degree (with distinction) in Mathematics from TU Wien, Austria, in 1999, 2005, and 2008, respectively. He also received the "Konzertfach" Diploma in Violoncello from MUK – Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna (formerly: Conservatory of Vienna), Austria, in 2000.
From 1999 to 2005, he was a junior researcher at the Telecommunications Research Center Vienna, Austria, and from 2005 to 2014, he worked as a PostDoc and project leader at the Institute of Telecommunications, TU Wien, Austria. In 2011, he was a visiting researcher at the Chair for Mathematical Information Science (formerly: Communication Technology Laboratory), ETH Zurich, Switzerland. From 2013 onwards, he held a (non-tenured) group/cluster leader position ("Mathematics and Signal Processing in Acoustics") at the Acoustics Research Institute, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Austria, and, in 2022, he returned to the Institute of Telecommunications, TU Wien, Austria.
He joined the MDS group in April 2023. His research interests include mathematics and signal processing with emphasis on compressive sensing, phase retrieval, learning, and information theory as well as on devising methods for real-word applications.
