Dr. Donoho, although young in age, has made his name as a Renaissance man in statistics and bordering fields. He is a member of the USA National Academy of Sciences and was awarded the COPSS Presidents' award as an outstanding young statistician, and a MacArthur Fellowship. He is a Fellow of the IMS and the American Academy of Arts and Science. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University. Dr. Donoho's recent work has pursued new ways of representing image and volumne data, the idea being that fundamentally better representations will be useful for treatment of statistical data -- allowing bettter feature detection -- and for data compression -- allowing more efficient representation. He has previously worked to show that skrinkage of wavelet coefficients can be interesting and effective method for signal progressing and nonparametic curve estimation. |

ASOK RAY earned his Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Northeastern University, Boston MA in 1976, and also graduate degrees in each of the disciplines of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and Mathematics. Dr. Ray joined the Pennsylvania State University in July 1985, and is currently a Professor of Mechanical Engineering, a Graduate Faculty of Electrical Engineering, and a Graduate Faculty in the Inter-College Program in Materials. Prior to joining Penn State, Dr. Ray held research and academic positions at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Carnegie-Mellon University as well as research and management positions at GTE Strategic Systems Division, Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, and MITRE Corporation. |

PRAKASH N. PATIL received his Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina in 1990 and is now Reader of Statistics at the University of Birmingham, U.K. In a series of papers, some co-authored with P. Hall, he developed wavelet methods for estimating smooth functions. He organized two workshops on Curve Estimation and Wavelet Methods in Statistics. |
| SOUNDAR R. T. KUMARA is Professor of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering and Computer Science. He received his Ph.D. from Purdue University. He developed fractal and wavelet based methods for diagnosis and prognosis in manufacturing. |
