LMS Invited Lecturer 2011
Emmanuel Candes, Stanford
March 21-25 2011
Isaac Newton Institute

The annual Invited Lecturers scheme aims to bring a distinguished overseas mathematician to the United Kingdom to present a small course of about ten lectures spread over a week. Each course of Invited Lectures is on a major field of current mathematical research, and is instructional in nature, being directed both at graduate students beginning research and at established mathematicians who wish to learn about a field outside their own research specialism.

Emmanuel Candes will give an eight-lecture minicourse, at a level suitable for graduate students, on Compressed Sensing. This is a subject very much at the interface of pure and applied mathematics and the lectures should interest a wide audience. There will also be one-hour lectures by:

Mike Davies (Edinburgh) 
-Compressed sensing in RF
Anders Hansen (Cambridge) 
-Generalized sampling and infinite-dimensional compressed sensing
Vincent Rivoirard (Paris-Dauphine) 
-The Dantzig selector for high dimensional statistical problems
Carola Schoenlieb (Cambridge) 
-Minimisation of sparse higher-order energies for large-scale problems in imaging
