Emmanuel Candès

Emmanuel Jean Candès (* 1970 in Paris ) is a French-American mathematician. He is a professor at Stanford University . Candès graduated from the École polytechnique in 1993 , received his diploma in applied mathematics from the Universities of Paris VI and IX in 1994, and received his doctorate in statistics from David Donoho at Stanford University in 1998 ( Ridgelets: Theory and Applications ). After that he was Assistant Professor in Statistics until 2000 and then became Professor of Applied and Numerical Mathematics at Caltech (from 2006 Ronald and Maxine Linde Professor ). He has been back at Stanford since 2009.

He dealt with numerical harmonic analysis , multiscale analysis , approximation theory , statistical estimation and pattern recognition , signal processing , inverse problems and scientific computing (scientific computing) as well as with computer science , mathematical optimization and information theory .

With L. Demanet he developed a fast numerical method for wave propagation problems , the first such method of linear complexity .

In his dissertation he generalized the wavelet theory to Curvelets and Ridgelets .

With Terence Tao , he founded the research field of compressed sensing , the reconstruction of images from a few randomly arranged measured signals , in 2004 .

In 2001 he received the Vasil A. Popov Prize in Approximation Theory and was a Sloan Research Fellow. In 2005 he was awarded the James H. Wilkinson Prize of SIAM of Computational Mathematics and in 2006 Alan T. Waterman Medal of the National Science Foundation , 2010 he was awarded the George Pólya Prize with Terence Tao, 2011 to Collatz Prize of the GAMM , The Lagrange Prize for Continuous Optimization in 2012 and the Dannie Heineman Prize of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences in 2013 . He was also accepted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences in 2014. In 2015 he received the George David Birkhoff Prize . In 2017 he received a MacArthur Fellowship . He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society . In 2020 he was awarded the Princess of Asturias Prize in the "Science" category.

He was selected as plenary speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians 2014 in Seoul (Mathematics of sparsity (and a few other things)).
