Mila Nikolova (1962 – 20 June 2018) was a Bulgarian applied mathematician, known for her research in image processing, inverse problems, and compressed sensing. [1] [2] [3] [4]
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]
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]
The Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision has published a posthumous special issue in honor of Nikolova. [3]
