Tony G. Allen

Research Scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

I am a Computational Imaging Scientist in the Cyber Resilience and Intelligence Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. At ORNL, I have worked on problems in synthetic aperture radar, satellite imagery, and biometrics. Generally, my research interests include developing novel imaging systems, optimization, artificial intelligence, and computational imaging.

Prior to joining ORNL, I received a B.S. in Mathematics from West Virginia University and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Purdue University while working in the Lidar Technology Branch of the Air Force Research Laboratory.
