Joakim Andén-Pantera is an Associate Professor in the Division of Probability, Mathematical Physics and Statistics at the Department of Mathematics, KTH Royal Institute of Technology. His research spans signal processing, statistical data analysis, and machine learning with applications in cryo-electron microscopy, biomedical signal analysis, and audio classification. His educational background includes advanced training in mathematics and signal processing leading to his current academic position. Though specific degree details aren't provided in the text, his research profile indicates deep expertise in mathematical methods for signal representation. Professor Andén-Pantera's work focuses on developing mathematical frameworks that extract discriminative information from signals while remaining invariant to irrelevant variations like translation, frequency-shifting, and noise. His research bridges theoretical mathematics with practical applications across multiple domains: Developing wavelet scattering transforms for robust signal representation Applying these techniques to cryo-EM for molecular structure analysis Creating methods for audio and music classification through time-frequency analysis Designing algorithms for biomedical signal processing, particularly ECG analysis Contributing to computational methods for cosmological parameter estimation His publication record shows consistent contributions in both theoretical signal processing and practical implementations. The research trajectory demonstrates increasing sophistication in applying scattering transforms and deep learning to diverse signal processing challenges across biology, medicine, and acoustics. Notable scientific recognition includes: Best Paper Award (2nd Place) at IEEE International Workshop on Machine Learning for Signal Processing (2015) Best Paper Award (1st Place) at International Conference on Digital Audio Effects (2012) Best Paper Award at IPDPS for cuFINUFFT implementation Professor Andén-Pantera advises graduate students on degree projects in financial mathematics, mathematical statistics, and engineering mathematics. His research group develops computational tools including ASPIRE for cryo-EM and Kymatio for wavelet scattering transforms. He teaches courses in Applied Statistics, Probability Theory, and Statistical Learning at KTH. He leads the development of several influential open-source software projects that have become standard tools in their respective fields, with Kymatio particularly gaining widespread adoption across multiple research communities.
