Scholar-generated biography
Sofia Olhede is a Professor of Statistical Data Science at EPFL, specializing in statistics. Her research focuses on wavelet analysis, time-frequency signal processing, and statistical modeling of complex systems. She has contributed significantly to the development of analytic wavelets, generalized Morse wavelets, and their applications in signal and image analysis. Her work also extends to network analysis, graphon estimation, and the statistical modeling of oceanic and biological systems. Additionally, she explores the societal implications of algorithmic systems and their integration into modern data science. Her research bridges theoretical statistics with practical applications in engineering, neuroscience, and environmental science.
