Fill in the Blanks: Using Math to Turn Lo-Res Datasets Into Hi-Res Samples | Magazine

In 2006, Candès’ work on the topic was rewarded with the $500,000 Waterman Prize, the highest honor bestowed by the National Science Foundation. It’s not hard to see why. Imagine MRI machines that take seconds to produce images that used to take up to an hour, military software that is vastly better at intercepting an adversary’s communications, and sensors that can analyze distant interstellar radio waves. Suddenly, data becomes easier to gather, manipulate, and interpret.
