Akram Aldroubi is a Lead Consultant in biomathematics, signal processing, and approximation theory.
Dr. Aldroubi received a diplôme in electrical engineering from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, in Switzerland. He studied mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University, earning his master’s in 1984 and his doctorate in 1987.
After his PhD, Dr. Aldroubi spent five years at the National Institutes of Health, where he served as Head of the Mathematics Group (BEIP, NCRR, NIH).
He moved to the Department of Mathematics at Vanderbilt University in 1997, where he currently holds a position of professor. He has worked on sampling theory, wavelets, frame theory, and their applications to signal and image processing.
Professor Aldroubi was named a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) for 2014. The society recognized him for contributions to modern harmonic analysis and its applications, and for building bridges between mathematics and other areas of science and engineering.
