Haley Duba Sullivan


I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Mathematics at Purdue University, working with Gregery Buzzard and Charles Bouman in the Integrated Imaging Lab. We primarily focus on computational imaging, advancing traditional and novel imaging systems through the design and development of algorithms. Additionally, I am a research assistant at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where I focus on leveraging high-performance computing to develop scalable, efficient methods for image processing, including reconstruction and enhancement for applications including multispectral satellite images, industrial x-ray computed tomography, additive manufacturing, and unmanned aerial vehicle multi-frame data. More broadly, my research interests lie in high-resolution imaging, with recent work centered on developing super-resolution methods to maximize the information extracted from complex datasets. My role at ORNL involves extensive interdisciplinary collaboration, frequently engaging with teams across the organization and external partners to drive innovative solutions in imaging science.

I am also passionate about empowering the next generation of women in STEM. While at Purdue, I served as a graduate leadership team representation for the Women in Science Program (WISP). Since starting at ORNL, I've gotten involved with Oak Ridge Computer Science Girls , which seeks to inspire girls to explore technology, coding, and science. I've also been involved with tnAchieves which provides scholarships and mentorship to Tennessee high school students to help them achieve their educational goals. Additionally, I am a member of the Association for Women in Mathematics.

Outside of mathematics, I enjoy making pottery and ceramics at the Oak Ridge Art Center. I also love hiking, camping, and traveling.

Biography

I am from Stonington, Connecticut and went to Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois for my undergraduate degree, where I majored in mathematics and minored in computer science. In August 2020, I began my graduate studies at Purdue University in Lafayette, Indiana. While at Purdue, I collaborated with researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennnessee. After spending the Summer of 2023 interning at ORNL, I decided to continue my PhD remotely and am now a research assistant in the Radar and Computational Imaging Group in ORNL's National Security Sciences Directorate. I've loved the opportunity to work on a variety of projects and learn from a diverse group of researchers, while also getting to explore the Smoky Mountains with my husband and two cats.
