CitationIngrid Daubechies is one of the world's foremost mathematicians. Her deeply original work has had huge impact in science and engineering. Her constructions of wavelets not only solved fundamental mathematical problems, but also revolutionized signal and image processing. Most processing algorithms for images are based on her work and are used in the image compression standard JPEG 2000. She has played a unique role in making wavelets a practical basic tool of applied mathematics with major impacts on medical imaging, remote sensing, and digital photography, and she has also introduced sophisticated mathematical techniques to art conservation and evolutionary biology.
