Abe Levitan is a junior professor in the Institute for Photon Science and Synchrotron Radiation (IPS) at KIT, where he leads the scientific activities at HIKA, a KIT-run imaging endstation at PETRA III. His primary focus is on the development of coherent lensless imaging methodologies for X-ray microscopy. 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.
