Plamen Stefanov works in mathematical analysis, focusing on inverse problems: figuring out unknown properties of an object (such as its shape, internal structure, or the way it bends light or waves) from indirect measurements taken outside or on its boundary. Much of this work concerns X-ray and Radon transforms (mathematical tools underlying medical imaging like CT scans), boundary and scattering rigidity (determining geometric shapes from travel-time or scattering data), and related equations in mathematical physics, including some work with relativistic (Lorentzian) settings and Schrödinger operators.
