Bubacarr Bah is a Gambian mathematician and Chair of Data Science at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS).[2][3] He is an Assistant Professor at Stellenbosch University and a member of the Google advanced technology external advisory council.{{fact|date=March 2019}}

Early life and education

Bah was born in The Gambia.[4] He studied mathematics at the University of the Gambia and graduated summa cum laude in 2004.[5][6] He was awarded a Master of Science (MSc) degree from the University of Oxford,[7] where he studied mathematical modelling as a postgraduate student of Wolfson College, Oxford.[8][9] He joined the University of Edinburgh, where his PhD investigated compressed sensing and was supervised by {{ill|Jared Tanner|wd=Q62554528|reasonator=1}}.[10][1][9] He was a member of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) student chapter.[11] His work on Gaussian matrices was awarded the SIAM best student paper.[12][13]

Research and career

Between 2012 and 2014 Bah was a postdoctoral researcher at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, where he continued his investigations into compressed sensing.[8] He was a member of the Laboratory for Information and Inference Systems.[14]

In 2014 Bah joined the University of Texas at Austin, where he worked on signal processing, machine learning and sampling strategies in high-dimensional data.[6][15] He developed a matrix for dimensionality reduction that uses bi-Lipschitz embeddings, which can exploit data redundancy.[16][17][18]

In 2016 Bah was appointed the German Chair in Mathematics at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), which is supported by the Humboldt Foundation.[15] The position was welcomed by the AIMS community, who believe Africa needs better data science infrastructure.[4] Bah organised the software engineering for Applied Mathematical Sciences workshop, which teaches basic programming and research programming.[19][20] He is responsible for connecting the AIMS in South Africa with central Africa and German universities.[21] As of 2019, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation support five chairs at AIMS centres.[22] He holds a joint position at Stellenbosch University, where he works on information theory and deep learning.[23][24]

In March 2019 Bah was appointed to the Google advanced technology external advisory council, a collection of experts who will consider the artificial intelligence (AI) principles of Google.[25]
