PROJECT 01
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation
Integrated computational modeling for accelerated single-pixel imaging
Project description
- Keywords
- Single-pixel imaging, physics-informed deep learning, unsupervised non-pretrained learning, iterative optimization process
Overview
The Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) program has been held at the Institute for Pure & Applied Mathematics (IPAM) of the University of California, Los Angeles. In 2018, the Advanced Institute for Materials Research (AIMR) at Tohoku University in Sendai launched the g-RIPS-Sendai program in collaboration with IPAM, targeting graduate-level students in mathematical science and related disciplines.
Participants from the U.S. and Japan will work on cross-cultural teams on research projects designed by industrial partners. The projects are expected to be of great interest to the partners and offer stimulating challenges to students. Most projects will involve both mathematical and computational work.
Information related to programs offered by IPAM can be found at “Student Research Programs.”

Voices from Participants
Participating in G-RIPS Sendai 2025 was an incredible experience that broadened both my academic and personal horizons. As someone who hadn’t traveled much outside the U.S., living in Japan for the summer was eye-opening. The program provided a good balance; we worked hard and had ample free time to travel and explore the country.
The past eight weeks were an exceptionally meaningful experience. As a graduate student in pure mathematics, I usually spend most of my time working independently on abstract problems. In contrast, our team project demanded substantial human and computational resources.
During G-RIPS Sendai 2025, I learned many valuable lessons that I could not have gained through my previous academic experiences. One of the most important aspects was discovering how mathematics can be applied to solve real-world problems in industry.
