Joachim Weickert is professor of mathematics and computer science at Saarland University where he heads the Mathematical Image Analysis Group. He received a diploma and a Ph.D. degree in mathematics from the University of Kaiserslautern (1991, 1996), and a habilitation degree in computer science from the University of Mannheim (2001). He worked as research assistant at the University of Kaiserslautern, as post-doctoral researcher at the universities of Utrecht and Copenhagen, and as assistant professor at the University of Mannheim.
Joachim Weickert performs
research
in image processing, computer vision and
scientific computing, focussing on techniques based on partial differential
equations, variational principles, wavelets, morphological and nonlocal
methods.
He has developed mathematical models and efficient numerical algorithms for
image restoration, enhancement, segmentation, compression, optic flow
computation, stereo reconstruction, shape from shading, as well as signal
processing methods for tensor fields. These ideas have entered a number of
applications in industry, biomedical image analysis and other fields. The scientific work of Joachim Weickert covers more than 240 refereed publications. His h-index is 52. He is the current Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision, has served in the editorial boards of nine international journals and has been reviewer for more than 60 journals and 16 funding organisations. Joachim Weickert has given over 130 invited talks at conferences, workshops and other universities, and was area chair of six ECCV or ICCV conferences. He has received 17 research, teaching and reviewing awards, including the 2010 Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize which is the highest German research award. He is elected member of the Academia Europaea - The Academy of Europe. At Saarland University, Joachim Weickert is initiator and head of a Master Programme in Visual Computing, which is the first of its kind in Germany and uses English as language of instruction. Since 2002 he has supervised more than 180 bachelor, master or diploma theses. He has established many interdisciplinary collaborations with colleagues from medicine, bioinformatics, pharmacy, physics, mechatronics, and mechanical engineering. He is Principal Investigator for Visual Computing within the Multimodal Computing and Interaction Cluster of Excellence, and he serves in the Steering Committee of the Intel Visual Computing Institute. From April 2008 to March 2010, Joachim Weickert was dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science.
