Professor Ingrid Daubechies - Hon DSc (Honorary Doctor of Science)
One of the foremost applied mathematicians of our time, Professor Ingrid Daubechies was born in Belgium and studied physics at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. She is best known for her breakthroughs in wavelet research and her contributions to digital signal processing. Some of the wavelet bases she constructed have become a household name in signal analysis; they, and other computational techniques she developed, have been incorporated into the JPEG2000 standard for image compression. Apart from her work on wavelets, Daubechies has contributed to other seminal advances in time-frequency analysis.
Unsung Hero
Graduation just wouldn't be possible without lots of Warwick people getting involved with a variety of roles throughout the week.
