Victor Wickerhauser
Template:Short description Mladen Victor Wickerhauser was born in Zagreb, SR Croatia, in 1959. He is a graduate of the California Institute of Technology and Yale University.
He is currently a professor of Mathematics[1] in the Arts and Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis and of Biomedical Engineering[2] in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. He has six U.S. patents[3] and more than 100 publications.[4] One of these, "Entropy-based Algorithms for Best Basis Selection," led to the Wavelet Scalar Quantization (WSQ) image compression algorithm, used by the FBI to encode fingerprint images.
Wickerhauser has been a member of the American Mathematical Society and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics and has received the 2002 Wavelet Pioneer Award from SPIE.
