Recent advancements in sensing and imaging technologies have driven innovation across various fields. However, the forward models governing these systems are often non-stationary, as sensor responses can fluctuate due to both internal and external factors. For instance, ultra-thin multimode fibres (MMFs) used in high-resolution imaging experience mode coupling, which alters unpredictably with each bend, distorting the transmitted signal. These challenges present a fundamental inverse problem: reconstructing accurate signals or images from inherently variable and noisy sensor outputs. Existing reconstruction methods often rely on assumptions of stable forward models, which limits their robustness under real-world, dynamic conditions. In this presentation, I will discuss my proposed algorithms for real-time imaging using MMFs, designed to maintain robustness against bending and other sources of variability.
Abdullah Abdulaziz received a B.Eng. degree in Mechatronics Engineering from Aleppo University, Syria, in 2013. He then completed an Erasmus Mundus Joint M.Sc. degree in Computer Vision and Robotics in 2016, studying at the University of Burgundy, France; the University of Girona, Spain; and Heriot-Watt University, UK. In 2020, he earned a Ph.D. in Signal and Image Processing from Heriot-Watt University, UK. Since 2020, he has been a Postdoctoral Researcher at Heriot-Watt University, contributing to the UK QuantIC hub (now QuSIT). His research focuses on developing Variational Inference and Deep Learning algorithms, with applications in healthcare, defence and security. He has received several awards, including the IEEE EUSIPCO 2016 Best Paper Award, the BASP Frontiers 2017 Best Contribution Award, and was a finalist for STEM for Britain 2023.
