Michael B. Wakin received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering and the B.A. degree in mathematics in 2000 (summa cum laude), the M.S. degree in electrical engineering in 2002, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering in 2007, all from Rice University. He was an NSF Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the California Institute of Technology from 2006-2007 and an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor from 2007-2008.

He is now an Assistant Professor in the Division of Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines. His research interests include sparse, geometric, and manifold-based models for signal and image processing, approximation, compression, compressive sensing, and dimensionality reduction. In 2007, Dr. Wakin shared the Hershel M. Rich Invention Award from Rice University for the design of a single-pixel camera based on compressive sensing, and in 2008, Dr. Wakin received the DARPA Young Faculty Award for his research in compressive multi-signal processing for environments such as sensor and camera networks.
