Sebastian Kurtek

This researcher develops statistical methods for analyzing shapes and curves—such as tumor outlines, cell nuclei arrangements, fossils, and eye-tracking patterns—using mathematical tools called elastic shape analysis and topological data analysis. Much of the work involves creating new ways to measure similarity between complex geometric objects and applying these methods to problems in medical imaging, biology, and archaeology. The research combines statistics, geometry, and computational methods to make sense of data where shape or spatial pattern matters more than raw numbers.

Publication output has declined over the last decade, from higher yearly counts around 2017-2021 to a slower, steadier pace of about 4-6 papers per year in 2022-2025.
