Dr Amirafshar Moshtaghpour
Staff Scientist
Amirafshar Moshtaghpour is a staff scientist at the Rosalind Franklin Institute, developing computational techniques for Electron Microscopy.
He obtained his MSc in Communication Systems from the University of Tehran in 2014 and his PhD in Signal and Image Processing from Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain), Belgium, in 2019. His PhD focused on Computational Interferometry for Hyperspectral Imaging. He was awarded an F.R.I.A grant from the F.R.S.-FNRS (Belgium), and his PhD thesis won the ICTEAM Best Thesis Award in 2020 at UCLouvain. He has held positions as a visiting researcher at the Instituto Superior Técnico (Lisbon, Portugal) and as a PDRA at UCLouvain, working on machine learning methods for detection, segmentation, and classification of objects.
As a PDRA at the Franklin from 2021 to 2024, he was a visiting researcher at the Albert Crewe Centre led by Prof. Nigel Browning at the University of Liverpool. Amirafshar is a co-founder of the International Symposium on Computational Sensing. His research interests include signal and image processing, machine learning, computational imaging, theory and application of compressive sensing, and inverse problem solving for light and electron microscopy.
