Tsachy (Itschak) Weissman is a professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. He is the founding director of the Stanford Compression Forum. His research interests include information theory, statistical signal processing, their applications, with recent emphasis on biological applications, in genomics in particular, lossless compression, lossy compression, delay-constrained and complexity-constrained compression and communication, network information theory, feedback communications, directed information, the interplay between estimation theory and information theory, entropy, noise reduction (denoising), filtering, prediction, sequential decision making, learning, and connections with probability, statistics, and computer science (as listed in Weissman's CV PDF link).

He was the Senior Technical Advisor to the HBO show ''Silicon Valley'', and namesake of the Weissman score therein. Weissman is the co-inventor of the Discrete Universal Denoiser (DUDE) algorithm.
