Prior to this, he spent 2010–2012 as an NSF Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Statistics at Stanford University and as a visitor with the Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie. He received the B.S.E.E., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering in 2004, 2007, and 2010, all from Rice University. His research interests include compressive sensing, low-rank matrix recovery, nonlinear approximation, and the application of low-dimensional signal models in signal processing and machine learning. Prof. Davenport is a recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER award as well as the Air Force Office of Scientific Research Young Investigator award. Tony Jebara
