He has also served as Kloosterman Professor at University of Leiden, Clay Mathematics Institute Senior Scholar, and a Sackler Fellow at Tel Aviv University. His research interests are in harmonic analysis, information theory, and mathematical statistics. Dr. Donoho is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Tsachy Weissman (S'99-M'02) received the B.Sc. (summa cum laude) and Ph.D. degrees, both in electrical engineering, from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, in 1997 and 2001, respectively. During 2002-2003 he was with the department of statistics at Stanford and with the information theory research group at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, to which he is now a Consultant. He has been on the Stanford faculty since 2003, where he is Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Robert N. Noyce Scholar of the School of Engineering. His research interests span information theory and its applications, and statistical signal processing. Among Tsachy's awards are the Clore Foundation scholarship, the Intel Prize, the Viterbi scholarship, the Rothschild foundation scholarship for postdoctoral studies, and the NSF CAREER. He is a co-recipient of the 2006 joint IT/COM societies paper award.
