INGRID DAUBECHIES

Achievement: Physicist and mathematician who developed wavelet theory, which revolutionized audio and visual processing, medical imaging, seismology, and surveillance, among many other technologies. As president of the International Mathematics Union, implemented innovative initiatives to support teaching math around the world.

Quote: “I think it must be a very rare person who does not feel insecure, like a whole assembly of failures with the occasional good thing in between. But realizing that everybody feels that way helps.”

Fascinating fact: Ingrid did not grow up to be a princess. But she did grow up to be a baroness. For her outstanding contribution to mathematics and technology, King Albert II of Belgium honored her with that title in 2012.
