Research
Naoki Saito’s research focus has been on applied and computational
harmonic analysis,
which is a discipline to study:
1) efficient and meaningful representations of data objects (e.g., signals and
images) and operators (e.g., singular integral operators);
2) fast computational algorithms to operate on them; and
3) their wide-range applications including those in computer science,
electrical engineering, geophysics, neuroscience, and statistics.
