Laura Ann Waller is a Canadian-American computer scientist and the Ted Van Duzer Endowed Associate Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, where she directs the Computational Imaging Lab.[2][3] Her research focuses on computational imaging, developing techniques that integrate optical hardware design with computational processing to advance microscopy and phase imaging. She is a Fellow of The Optical Society and a senior fellow of the Berkeley Institute for Data Science.[4]
While at MIT, Waller was active in campus life: she played on the Women's Varsity soccer team, served as president of The Optical Society student chapter, and participated in the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) programme.[7][8][9]
She completed her doctorate in 2010 under the supervision of George Barbastathis, with a thesis that developed new techniques to image phase and amplitude.[10][1]
Waller's research group specialises in computational imaging, an approach that integrates optical system design with computational processing.[3][12] Their work spans phase imaging, super-resolution microscopy, and lensless imaging, with applications in both biomedical and industrial sciences.[13][14][15] She has developed machine learning techniques for 3D microscopy and her group maintains open source software for imaging applications.[16][17]
