Mila Nikolova
Mila Nikolova (1962 – June 20, 2018) was a Bulgarian applied mathematician, known for her research in image processing, inverse problems, and compressed sensing.[1][2][3][4]
Education and career
After working as a science journalist and engineer in Bulgaria, Nikolova completed a Ph.D. in 1995 in signal and image processing at the University of Paris-Sud.[1] In 2006, she earned a habilitation in mathematics at Pierre and Marie Curie University.[5]
She did postdoctoral research with Électricité de France, and then joined the faculty at Paris Descartes University in 1996. In 1999 she was given a position as senior research fellow at CNRS, associated at first with the École nationale supérieure des télécommunications and since 2003 with the École normale supérieure Cachan. She became a director of research at CNRS in 2009.[5]
Recognition
Nikolova won the Michel-Monpetit Prize of the French Academy of Sciences in 2010, "for the originality and depth of her research in mathematical image processing and in solving certain inverse problems".[1][6]
After her death, the Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision announced plans to publish a special issue in honor of Nikolova.[3]
