Irène Waldspurger is a French mathematician and a researcher at the Research Centre in Mathematics of Decision (CEREMADE) where her research focuses on algorithm to solve phase problems,[1] a class of problem relevant for a large number of imaging techniques used in science and medicine.

Waldspurger competed for France in the 2006 International Mathematical Olympiad, winning a bronze medal.

[2] Waldspurger was a student of the prestigious Ecole Normale Superieure,[3] in Paris, France, where she was ranked first at the entrance exam in 2008.

[4] She pursued her doctoral research at École Normale Supérieure, working on phase retrieval techniques using wavelet transforms[5] under the supervision of Stephane Mallat, which she completed in 2015.

She then joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a postdoctoral fellowship, before returning to France in 2017 to join the French National Centre for Scientific Research.
