Peter Maaß's activities and research focus are in the field of inverse problems , wavelets and mathematical image and signal processing, thin representations (sparse representation), numerical analysis and parameter identification with a focus on applications in engineering and life sciences.

Maaß was Vice President of the German Mathematicians Association from 2002 to 2003. He is co-editor of several international mathematical journals. His book Wavelets: Theory and Applications is one of the standard textbooks in German-speaking countries.

Maaß is the founder of SCiLS, Scientific Computing in Life Sciences , which converts current research results into usable products.

In 2018, Maaß was awarded an honorary doctorate from Saarland University in recognition of his services in numerical mathematics and its internal mathematical consequences for the theory and solution of inverse problems as well as their wide-ranging applications in medical imaging and industry .
