Tsachy (Itschak) Weissman is Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University.[1] He is founding director of the Stanford Compression Forum.[1] His research interests include Information theory, statistical signal processing, and their applications, with recent emphasis on biological applications, in genomics in particular. Lossless compression and lossy compression. Delay-constrained and complexity-constrained compression and communication. Network information theory. Feedback communications. Directed information. The interplay between estimation theory and information theory. Entropy (information theory). Noise reduction (Denoising), filtering[disambiguation needed], prediction, sequential decision making, and learning. Connections with probability, statistics, and computer science (as listed in Weissman's CV PDF link).[1]
He is Senior Technical Advisor to HBO show Silicon Valley (TV series), and namesake of the Weissman score.[2] Weissman is co-inventor of the Discrete Universal Denoiser (DUDE) algorithm.[3]
On his personal website, Weissman has spoken out against intimidation and sexual harassment in the information theory community.[4]
Education
Weissman received his B.Sc in Electrical Engineering (Summa Cum Laude) in 1997, and his PhD (2001) from Technion – Israel Institute of Technology.[5]
Career
In 2002, Weissman joined Hewlett-Packard (HP) Laboratories as a researcher. In 2003 he became a Visiting Scientist at HP.[6] At HP, he was co-inventor of a denoising algorithm named the Discrete Universal Denoiser (DUDE).
Weissman became Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University in 2003.[7] [8] [9] He was promoted to Associate Professor in 2010,[10] and professor in 2015.[11]
He was named Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers IEEE in 2013 [12] for contributions to information theory and its applications in signal processing.
Patents
Tsachy Weissman has been granted 15 U.S. patents.[13]
