Abe Levitan is a junior professor in the Institute for Photon Science and Synchrotron Radiation (IPS) at KIT. He works on the development of ptychography and coherent lensless imaging methodologies for x-ray microscopy. His particular focus is on full field coherent imaging and the mathematical underpinnings of phase retrieval.

He completed his Ph.D. research in the Photon Scattering Lab at MIT and was a postdoctoral fellow in the Computational X-ray Imaging group at the Paul Scherrer Institute. He is also the primary developer of the cdtools library for ptychography and coherent lensless imaging reconstructions.
