Amol Mahurkar

email id: amolgmahurkar [AT] gmail.com



Short Bio: Amol Mahurkar's current research focus is on Inverse Problems, Signal Processing, and Computational Sensing and Imaging. His recent foray includes designing super-sparse arrays for super-resolution ultrasound imaging. Moreover, he has a stronghold not only in mathematical modeling of complex abstract problems but is also well-versed in the design of electronics. He has an undergrad in ECE from Pune University, now known as Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU).
