Expertise Theory of wavelets and their applications, inverse problems and sparsity, signal processing for communications, and sensor networks Martin Vetterli is an honorary professor of communication systems at EPFL. From 2017 to 2024, he was president of EPFL, appointed by the Federal Council after a unanimous nomitation by the ETH Board. Previously, he was the head of National Research Council of the Swiss National Science Foundation from 2013 to 2016.He was born on 4 October 1957 in Solothurn and received his elementary and secondary education in Neuchâtel Canton. He earned a Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from ETH Zurich (ETHZ) in 1981, a Master's of Science degree from Stanford University in 1982, and a PhD from EPFL in 1986. Martin Vetterli taught at Columbia University as an assistant and then associate professor. He was subsequently named full professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California at Berkeley before returning to EPFL as a full professor at the age of 38. He has also taught at ETHZ and Stanford University. He has earned numerous national and international awards for his research in electrical engineering, computer science and applied mathematics, including the National Latsis Prize in 1996 and the IEEE Jack S. Kilby Signal Processing Medal. He is a fellow of both the Association for Computing Machinery and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and a member the US National Academy of Engineering. He has published about 200 journal articles and three reference books. Martin Vetterli's work on the theory of filter banks and wavelets, which are used in signal processing and communications, is considered to be of major importance by his peers, and his areas of expertise, including image and video compression and self-organized communication systems, are central to the development of new information technologies. As the founding director of the National Centre of Competence in Research on Mobile Information and Communication Systems, Professor Vetterli is an advocate of transdisciplinary research. He also promotes open access publication and reproducible research.Professor Vetterli knows EPFL inside and out. An EPFL graduate himself, he began teaching at the school in 1995, was vice president for International Affairs and then Institutional Affairs from 2004 to 2011, and served as dean of the School of Computer and Communication Sciences in 2011 and 2012. He heads EPFL's Audiovisual Communications Laboratory (LCAV) since 1995. He has advised close to 80 students in their doctoral work in Switzerland and the United States and makes a point of following their careers, whether it is in academia or the high tech world. He is the co-author of some 50 patents, some of which were the basis for start-ups coming from his lab, such as Dartfish, Artmyn or Illusonic, while others were sold (e.g. Qualcomm) as successful examples of technology transfer. He actively encourages young researchers to transfer the results of their work into the real world.Current Work - Wavelets, filter banks and applications: http://fourierandwavelets.org/- Sampling theory, in particular sparse sampling- Inverse problems regularized by sparsity, in particular in acoustics- High quality art rendering: http://lcav.epfl.ch/research/eFacsimile- Sensor networks: http://sensorscope.epfl.ch/ and http://www.mics.ch/- Signal processing for communications: http://www.sp4comm.org/getit.html- online education for signal processing: https://www.coursera.org/course/dspMartin Vetterli's research is sponsored by the Swiss National Science Foundation, the European Research Council, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and various industrial partners (Qualcomm, Google).
