Myoung An has been a Principal Scientist at Prometheus Inc. since 1994. After
receiving her PhD in Mathematics from the Graduate Center/CUNY, she has held
positions both in industry and academia. Dr. An’s main responsibility has been the
application of mathematics in designing and implementing digital processing algorithms
in fluid dynamics, computational electromagnetics, material sciences, crystallography,
image processing and hyperspectral imaging. She has co-authored five books.
Dr. An’s work as an Applied Mathematician at Prometheus concentrates on designing
and tailoring waveforms and sequences for SAR, radar, and sonar applications. Her
current research interests include information extraction using noncommutative harmonic
analysis and time-frequency analysis. These techniques enable the novel exploitation of
features in data that are ignored when standard signal processing methods are used.
