[2] Martin Vetterli has made numerous research contributions in the general area of digital signal processing and is best known for his work on wavelets.

In 2015, he was elected to the United States National Academy of Engineering for his contributions to the development of time-frequency representations and algorithms in multimedia signal processing and communications.

[4] He is also responsible for developing, publishing and maintaining an extensive massive open online course on the basics of digital signal processing.

In addition to important classic topics like channel estimation and equalization, multiuser systems like sensor networks are of great interest.

Inverse problems and tomography are key signal processing tasks where state of the art techniques have high potential impact.

In particular, the project on ultrasound tomography intends to solve a long-standing quest for a safe and affordable breast cancer screening method.

[10] In 2014, another book with the title Foundations of Signal Processing (coauthored by Jelena Kovačević and Vivek Goyal) was also published freely accessible.

[12] Starting January 1, 2025, the Swiss Federal Council appointed Anna Fontcuberta i Morral as the sixth President of EPFL for a 4-year term, succeeding Martin Vetterli.
