Between 2012 and 2014 Bah was a
postdoctoral researcher at the
École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, where he continued his investigations into
compressed sensing. 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. He developed a
matrix for
dimensionality reduction that uses bi-
Lipschitz embeddings, which can exploit
data redundancy. 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. He is responsible for connecting the
AIMS in South Africa with central Africa and German universities. As of 2019, the
Alexander von Humboldt Foundation supports five chairs at AIMS centres. He holds a joint position at
Stellenbosch University, where he works on
information theory and
deep learning. 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. Google disbanded ATEAC on April 4, 2019 following criticism by Google employees about another member,
Kay Coles James. == References ==
