Namrata Vaswani

Namrata Vaswani is an Indian-American electrical engineer known for her research in compressed sensing, robust principal component analysis, signal processing, statistical learning theory, and computer vision.[1] She is a Joseph and Elizabeth Anderlik Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Iowa State University, and (by courtesy) a professor of mathematics at Iowa State.[2]

Education and career

Vaswani earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi in 1999. She completed a Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering in 2004 at the University of Maryland, College Park.[2] Her doctoral advisor was Rama Chellappa,[3] and her dissertation was Change detection in stochastic shape dynamical models with applications in activity modeling and abnormality detection.[4]

After postdoctoral research at the Georgia Institute of Technology, she joined the Iowa State faculty in 2005. She was given her courtesy appointment in mathematics in 2013,[2] and the Anderlik Professorship in 2019.[2][5] She also chairs the Women in Signal Processing Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society.[1]

Recognition

In 2018, Vaswani was named a Fellow of the IEEE "for contributions to dynamic structured high-dimensional data recovery".[6] In 2019 she was named a distinguished alumni of the University of Maryland Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.[1]
