Event Description
Elected the first woman president of the International Mathematical
Union (2011–2014), Daubechies is the James B. Duke Professor
of Mathematics at Duke University. More »
Increasingly awash in data from satellite signals, weather maps,
digital video, and complex medical imaging, modern understanding of
signal transmission analysis and enhancement relies on Daubechies' work
with wavelets and image compression. Focusing on the mathematical
aspects of time-frequency analysis and its applications, Daubechies is
currently applying her methods and techniques to learning theory.
Sponsored by Brookhaven Women in Science, the talk is free and
open to the public. Visitors to the Laboratory age 16 or older must
carry photo ID.
