In 1997, she was a postdoctoral fellow at Yale University and AT&T Labs-Research. From 1998 to 2004, she was a member of technical staff at AT&T Labs-Research in Florham Park, NJ. Since then she has been with the Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan, where she is now a Professor. She has received several awards, including a Sloan Research Fellowship (2006), an NSF CAREER award (2006), the National Academy of Sciences Award for Initiatives in Research (2008), the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Douglas Engelbart Best Paper award (2008), and the EURASIP Signal Processing Best Paper award (2010). Her research interests include analysis, probability, networking, and algorithms. She is especially interested in randomized algorithms with applications to harmonic analysis, signal and image processing, networking, and massive datasets. News Anna Gilbert is the recipient of the National Academy of Sciences Award for Initiatives in Research.        2008 The award recognizes innovative young scientists and encourages research likely to lead to new capabilities for human benefit. She is being recognized for her work with innovative algorithms using wavelets and sampling techniques and their impact on data analysis and sparse approximation. Anna Gilbert receives a NSF CAREER award for her project "Modeling and Analysis of Data from Massive Graphs."        2006 The CAREER awards provide early career development for faculty with outstanding potential. Anna previously received an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, an extraordinarily competitive award involving nominations of the very best young scientists from around the country.   Contact math-webmaster@umich.edu to update this faculty detail page.
