Signal Science Lab at Cornell
Community-focused Research
Investigations into biomedical research require synergy between its three pillars: physical methods (that captures information), biological systems (that provides information), and data processing methods (that interprets information). While development in the physical methods and biological systems have made significant advancement in the past decades, the third pillar of data processing approaches, which threads the first two pillars, is lagging.
The Signal Science Lab is leading efforts to develop fundamental data processing methods and advanced computational workflow to extract high-fidelity signals with excellent spatial and temporal resolution from physical measurements.
Wavelet Denoising
We are developing signal processing techniques based on wavelet transforms that can precisely localize and remove noise from signals
Inverse Problems and Uncertainty Analysis
We are developing a “localized” approach to solve ill-posed mathematical inversion problem and determine uncertainty in physical methods, from which indirect information is obtained from experiments
Biomedical/Biophysical Applications
We are designed advanced data processing workflow to extract high temporal and spatial resolution information, enabling and aiding various spectroscopic, microscopic and imaging methods to study biological systems in native (or native-like) environments.

Journal of Physical Chemistry highlights SVD work
June 4, 2020
The Virtual Issue of J. Phys. Chem. on new tools and methods has highlighted a paper by Madhur Srivastava and Jack Freed. The paper is among 25 papers selected by the editorial team that was published in J. Phys. Chem. over the past two years. Srivastava and Freed developed a “localized” approach to solve ill-posed mathematical problems and calculated the uncertainty within the solution for Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy. The method has led to many publications in high impact journals on structural determination of biomolecules.
