Ingrid Daubechies
Ingrid Daubechies ( born August 17, 1954 in Houthalen, Belgium) is Professor and Director of the Mathematics Department at Princeton University, USA. The introduced and investigated by their wavelets (see Daubechies wavelets ) has set the basis for the practical application of the wavelet transform.
Life
He grew Ingrid Daubechies in Belgium, the daughter of a mining engineer and a criminologist. After finishing her education, she studied physics at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and received the bachelor's degree in physics in 1975. 1980 received his doctorate in physics Daubechies and worked after graduation until 1987, first as a research assistant and later as a research professor in the Department of Theoretical Physics at the Free University of Brussels. Ingrid Daubechies in 1987 moved to the United States to expand the wavelet theory as a technical assistant in mathematical research at AT & T Bell Laboratories. At the same time to their work at Bell Laboratories in 1990, she taught as a professor at the University of Michigan from 1991 to 1994 at the Rutgers University in the U.S. state of New Jersey. Since 1993 Ingrid Daubechies Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University and since 1997 its director. My research focuses on the mathematical aspects of time -frequency analysis, there mainly wavelets and their applications.
She is married to the mathematician and computer scientist Robert Calderbank and has two children.
Awards
In 1992, Ingrid Daubechies MacArthur Fellow. The American Mathematical Society, of which she is a Fellow, she was awarded the 1994 Leroy P. Steele Prize for written presentation for her book Ten Lectures on Wavelets. In 2006, she held the Noether Lecture. Also in 1994 she held a plenary lecture at the ICM in Zurich ( Wavelets and other phase localization methods ). In 1998 she was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. In 2000 Daubechies the NAS Award in Mathematics received. In 2007, she was awarded as part of the ICIAM Congress in Zurich the Innovator Award. You got it together with Heinz Engl of the Johannes Kepler University Linz. In 2011 she once again received the Leroy P. Steele Prize for outstanding research achievements and in particular their work orthonormal bases of compactly supported wavelets ( Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 41, 1988, pp. 909-996 ). Also in 2011 she was awarded the Benjamin Franklin Medal and the IEEE Jack S. Kilby Signal Processing Medal. In 2012 she was awarded the Nemmers Prize for mathematics.
