London Mathematical Society (LMS) Honorary Member, Ingrid Daubechies, professor of mathematics and electrical and computer engineering at Duke University, US, has received a $1.5 million grant from the
Daubechies is well known for her study of wavelets, or mathematical functions with the ability to enhance image compression technology. She received a Math + X Investigator award, which is ‘designed to encourage novel collaborations between mathematics and other fields in science or engineering'.
Professor Daubechies will use the money to fund her research projects involving machine learning and mathematics. More information is available
