Kasso Okoudjou

Education and early career

Okoudjou studied mathematics at the University of Abomey-Calavi, earning a Master's degree in 1996.[2] He became an instructor at the Complexe Scolaire William Ponty de Porto-Novo in Bénin. In 1998 he joined the Georgia Institute of Technology for his graduate studies.[2] He earned his PhD, Characterization of function spaces and boundedness properties of bilinear pseudodifferential operators through Gabor frames, in 2003 for research supervised by Christopher Edward Heil.[1][3] He was awarded the Sigma Xi Best PhD Thesis Award.[2]

Research

Okoudjou was appointed H. C. Wang Assistant Professor at Cornell University in 2003. In 2005 he joined Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematical Physics in Vienna. He moved to the University of Maryland, College Park in 2006. In 2018 he was awarded a National Science Foundation grant to develop digital signal processing.[4] He applies Frame Theory to the redundancy of data for Quantum Information.[4] He uses the Zauner conjecture and Heil-Ramanathan-Topiwala conjecture.[4]

Okoudjou's accomplishments have earned him recognition by Mathematically Gifted & Black as a Black History Month 2019 Honoree.[5]
