This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) is supporting research conducted by Purdue University to advance wavefront estimation techniques for long-range imaging systems. The $350,000 award, spanning October 2025 to September 2028, aims to develop an optics-algorithm co-design framework through neural mappings to enable ultrafast wavefront estimation from a single image. This would transform long-range imaging systems for critical defense missions involving target tracking and adversarial object identification, as well as astronomical imaging. The educational activities of the project also focus on workforce development by training scientists and engineers for national security, space exploration, and scientific imaging applications.
