Emmanuel J. Candes, Ronald and Maxine Linde Professor of Applied and Computational Mathematics, is the recipient of the 2010 George Pólya Prize. The prize recognizes Professor Candes's role in developing the theory of compressed sensing and matrix completions "the algorithms and analysis are not only beautiful mathematics, worthy of study for their own sake, but they also lead to remarkable solutions of practical engineering problems."

Emmanuel Candes, Ronald and Maxine Linde Professor of Applied and Computational Mathematics, has garnered the 2008 Information Theory Society Paper Award jointly with Terence Tao and David Donoho. Their ground-breaking papers were cited for independently introducing the new area of compressed sensing, which holds great promise for processing massive amounts of data, and has already had a broad impact on a diverse set of fields, including signal processing, information theory, function approximation, MRI, and radar design.
