Rachel Ward and Deanna Needell received the IMA Prize in Mathematics and Applications in 2016. The award recognized their theoretical work related to medical sensing and MRIs, with Needell recognized in particular for her contributions to sparse approximation, signal processing, and stochastic optimization.[2]

gollark: The world is very interconnected these days so stuff happening elsewhere affects me somewhat. And I do also care about suffering being caused, even if that doesn't directly affect people in my country.
