The free, public lecture will be delivered by Emmanuel Candes of Stanford University. His lecture is "Recovering the Unseen: Some Recent Advances in Low-Rank Matrix Reconstruction."
Candes has held positions at the California Institute of Technology and at Stanford, where he is professor of mathematics and professor of statistics and also holds a courtesy appointment as professor of electrical engineering. His research areas include compressed sensing, mathematical and signal processing, computational harmonic analysis, multiscale analysis, scientific computing, statistical estimation and detection, and high-dimensional statistics.
