Join us for the Royal Society Bakerian Prize Lecture delivered by Professor Ingrid Daubechies ForMemRS.

The Bakerian Medal and Lecture 2025 is awarded to Professor Ingrid Daubechies for her outstanding work on wavelets and image compression and her exceptional contributions to a wide spectrum of physical, technological, and mathematical applications.

Professor Daubechies will discuss the recent years where mathematical algorithms have helped art historians and art conservators put together the thousands of fragments into which an unfortunate WWII bombing destroyed world famous frescos by Mantegna, decide that certain paintings by masters were “roll mates” (their canvases were cut from the same bolt), virtually remove artefacts in preparation for a restoration campaign and get more insight into paintings hidden underneath a visible one.
