David Donoho
David Leigh Donoho ( born March 5, 1957 in Los Angeles ) is an American statistician.
Donoho studied statistics at Princeton University ( bachelor's degree summa cum laude at John W. Tukey ) and received his doctorate in 1983 with Peter Huber at Harvard University (A tool for research in data analysis ), while he worked simultaneously at Western Geophysical in geophysical signal processing. He was a post - doctoral fellow at MSRI and then became a professor at the University of California, Berkeley ( where he was since 1984 from 1985 to 1990 as a National Science Foundation Young Investigator ). He is since 1990 professor at Stanford University. He has been a visiting professor at the University of Paris, the University of Tel Aviv ( Sackler Professor ), University of Singapore, the University of Leiden ( Kloosterman Professor ) and the University of Cambridge ( Rothschild Lecturer ).
With S. Chen 1994, he developed the basis pursuit method for the analysis of frequency spectra, a variant of the frequency analysis using the least squares method ( LSSA, least squares spectral analysis). In 1982, he led simultaneously with the Stahel Outlyingness as a measure of a runaway.
In the 1990s and 2000s he developed wavelet -like methods in image processing ( curvelets, Wedgelets ).
In 1991 he was MacArthur Fellow. In 1994 he was invited speaker on the ICM in Zurich (Abstract statistical estimation and modern harmonic analysis). In 2001 he was von Neumann Lecturer ( What lies behind wavelets? ) SIAM, whose fellow he is since 2009. In 2002 he gave a plenary lecture at the ICM in Beijing (Emerging Applications of Geometric Multiscale Analysis). In 2010 he received the Norbert Wiener Prize. 2013, the Shaw Prize for mathematics, he was awarded.
He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences. He also holds honorary doctorates from the University of Chicago. He is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
He is co-founder of D2 software ( the software MacSpin for high-dimensional data visualization established) and BigFix (the software for remote network management are established). He was also in the research department of the hedge fund Renaissance Technologies.
His doctoral counts Emmanuel Candes.
