Assistant Professor Anna Gilbert received her Ph.D. in Mathematics from Princeton University in 1997. Her dissertation studied applications of multiresolution analysis and wavelets to numerical analysis. She comes to Michigan from AT&T Research Laboratories, where she was a member of the senior technical staff. Her research interests cover analysis, probability, computational harmonic analysis, networking and algorithms, with the emphasis on randomized algorithms and the study of network traffic.
Area of specialty is "computational harmonic analysis, networking and algorithms".
My research sits at the boundaries of several disciplines, including mathematics, computer science and statistics. I am working in three main areas:
- Algorithms (especially randomized approximation algorithms for data streams and function approximation)
- Analysis of network traffic (including engineering aspects of network traffic, statistical tools for analyzing such data sets, and rigorous mathematical models of network behavior
- Computational harmonic analysis (this work forms my mathematical foundation)
