NEC Professor of Software Science and Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Professor Muriel Médard has made fundamental contributions to the theory and practice of coding and decoding to improve the reliability, latency and efficiency of networks. Her work on the algebraic and algorithmic principles network coding has been foundational. Using this coding, she developed protocols that have led to current commercial uses of the technology. Her work on universal error-correcting decoding has established entirely new algorithms that are able to decode any code. Muriel’s work on designing circuits to implement these algorithms has led to the creation of world-record chips in terms of latency and energy efficiency.
