Dr. Hege specializes in developing first-order post-detection processing methodology for recovering diffraction-limited imagery from atmospherically distorted focal-plane data. He is applying physically constrained iterative deconvolution techniques to calibrate and compensate the point-spread functions resulting from adaptive optics imaging systems and Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS cameras. Dr. Hege is currently investigating astronomical applications of flash hyperspectral imaging spectroscopy, in collaboration with both Steward Observatory and College of Optical Sciences at The University of Arizona and with HvPhotonics [http://hnuphotonics.com] in Wailuku, Maui, HI.
