$ Eddie Berman / About (Back)

My main interests are at the intersection of Optics, Computer Vision, and Astronomy. Specifically, how can we embed inductive biases from optical physics into computer vision problems? Similarly, how can we use techniques from computer vision to solve problems in astronomical imaging? I am of course also interested in problems that fall strictly within one of those three domains. I am especially interested in problems at the forefront of equivariant machine learning, differentiable programming, and/or the Julia programming language.

A lot of my work is focused on next generation imagers like JWST. I model telescope limitations and systematics to enable weak lensing analysis and exoplanet discovery. To achieve this, I work very closely with both domain scientists and applied math specialists. I am fortunate to collaborate with both COSMOS-Web: The JWST Cosmic Origins Survey and AstroAI at Harvard University. I am advised by Professor Jacqueline McCleary in the department of Physics at Northeastern University as well as Professor Robin Walters in Northeastern's Khoury College of Computer Science Geometric Learning Lab.
