The award recognizes Goyal\u2019s groundbreaking work in computational imaging, including research to photograph objects hidden by walls and around corners<\/strong><\/h3>\n

He might spend his days testing computer chips for the most minute of devices, or developing tech that spies could use while on covert assignments. But if you ask Professor Vivek Goyal<\/a> (ECE<\/a>), to name one of the coolest things about his job, he doesn\u2019t pick inventing technology or testing gadgets.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really love the generation and analysis of probabilistic models,\u201d admits Goyal, who is also associate chair of ECE doctoral programs.<\/p>\n

These prediction-making algorithms might not be as glamorous as aiding secret agents, but they play a critical role in his burgeoning research on improving microscope imaging. That research is in part what earned Goyal a Guggenheim Fellowship<\/a>, a prestigious grant from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201cVivek is the third Boston University College of Engineering faculty member to be awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in recent years, which speaks to the outstanding depth and quality of research at the college,\u201d says Elise Morgan<\/a>, ENG dean ad interim. \u201cProfessor Goyal is a preeminent scholar and outstanding member of our faculty. His research on non-line-of-sight imaging\u2014at the intersection of optics\/photonics and computers and mathematics\u2014has great potential for making the world safer for many people.\u201d<\/p>\n
