Emmanuel Candes, a mathematician at the California Institute of Technology, has been selected to receive the National Science Board's prestigious Alan T. Waterman Award. The board cited Candes' development of new mathematical tools that allow efficient digital representation of wave signals, together with his discovery of new methods to translate analog data into a cleaner, tighter digital form--work that promises to improve the digital processing of signals in a vast array of modern technologies.With the advent of digital technologies, translating analog information faithfully into digital representations has been a major challenge. The translating method, called sampling, must select enough information from the analog object to adequately reproduce it in digital form. Otherwise, key information may be lost.Recently, Candes developed a new sampling mechanism that allows the faithful recovery of signals and images from far fewer data bits than traditional methods use. This new sampling theory may come to underlie protocols that sample and compress data simultaneously and much faster. "In practice," Candes said, "this means one could obtain super-resolved signals from just a few sensors."The annual Waterman award recognizes an outstanding young researcher in any field of science or engineering supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Candidates may not be more than 35 years old, or seven years beyond receiving a doctorate. In addition to a medal, the awardee receives a grant of $500,000 over a 3-year period for scientific research or advanced study in the mathematical, physical, medical, biological, engineering, social, or other sciences at the institution of the recipient's choice.

加利福尼亚理工学院的数学家伊曼纽尔·糖果（Emmanuel Candes）已被选为获得国家科学委员会享有声望的艾伦·沃特曼奖（Alan T. Waterman Award）。董事会引用了糖果的开发新的数学工具的开发，该工具可以有效地对波浪信号进行数字表示，并发现新方法将模拟数据转化为一种更清洁，更严格的数字形式 - 有望改善一系列现代技术中信号的数字处理。在一系列现代技术中。在数字技术的出现，忠实地转化为数字挑战，这是一项主要的挑战。称为采样的翻译方法必须从模拟对象中选择足够的信息以充分以数字形式重现。否则，关键信息可能会丢失。糖果开发了一种新的抽样机制，该机制允许忠实地恢复来自数据位的信号和图像，而不是传统方法的使用。这种新的抽样理论可能是协议的基础，这些方案是同时且更快地压缩数据的协议。糖果说：“实际上，这意味着人们只能从几个传感器那里获得超级分辨的信号。”年度沃特曼奖认可了国家科学基金会（NSF）支持的任何科学或工程领域的杰出年轻研究员。候选人的年龄可能不超过35岁，或者除了获得博士学位的七年外。除了获得奖牌外，该获奖者还在3年期间获得了500,000美元的赠款，用于在接收者选择的机构中，在数学，物理，医学，生物学，工程，社会，社会或其他科学领域的数学，物理，医学，生物学，工程，社会或其他科学方面获得了赠款。
