Irène Waldspurger is a French mathematician and a researcher at the Research Centre in Mathematics of Decision (CEREMADE) where her research focuses on algorithm to solve phase problems,^[1] a class of problem relevant for a large number of imaging techniques used in science and medicine. She is also a professor at Paris Sciences et Lettres University.

Education and career[edit]

Waldspurger competed for France in the 2006 International Mathematical Olympiad, winning a bronze medal.^[2]

Waldspurger was a student of the prestigious Ecole Normale Superieure,^[3] in Paris, France, where she was ranked first at the entrance exam in 2008.^[4] She pursued her doctoral research at École Normale Supérieure, working on phase retrieval techniques using wavelet transforms^[5] under the supervision of Stephane Mallat, which she completed in 2015. She then joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a postdoctoral fellowship, before returning to France in 2017 to join the French National Centre for Scientific Research.

Recognition[edit]

In 2020, Waldspurger was one of the Peccot Lecturers and Peccot Prize winners of the College de France,^[6] and won the CNRS Bronze Medal.^[7]
