Ingrid Daubechies

Biography

Ingrid Daubechies is a Belgian-American mathematician who revolutionized signal processing through her groundbreaking work on wavelet theory. Her compactly supported wavelets, known as Daubechies wavelets, transformed data compression and image analysis, underpinning technologies from JPEG 2000 to FBI fingerprint compression. She served as the first woman president of the International Mathematical Union from 2011 to 2014 and continues to apply mathematical tools to problems in art conservation and neuroscience.

英格丽·多贝西是一位比利时裔美国数学家，她通过在小波理论方面的开创性工作彻底改变了信号处理领域。她的紧支撑小波（即多贝西小波）改变了数据压缩和图像分析方式，为从JPEG 2000到FBI指纹压缩等技术提供了基础。她于2011年至2014年担任国际数学联盟首位女性主席，并继续将数学工具应用于艺术品保护和神经科学等领域。
