Cand�s Receives Waterman Award
June 12, 2006
Emmanuel Cand�s, a mathematician at the California Institute of Technology, has received the U.S. National Science Board's Alan T. Waterman Award. Cand�s was cited for the "development of new mathematical tools that allow efficient digital representation of wave signals, together with his discovery of new methods to translate analog data into a cleaner, tighter digital form---work that promises to improve the digital processing of signals in a vast array of modern technologies."
The award, given to young (35 or under) researchers in any field supported by NSF, carries a three-year, $500,000 grant.
At press time, Cand�s, the first invited speaker at the SIAM Conference on Imaging Science (May 15�17), delivered what SIAM News sources describe as an outstanding talk ("Imaging by Random Sensing").
