He is currently a professor of Mathematics{{Cite web|url=http://wumath.wustl.edu/people/wickerhauser_mladen-victor|title=Faculty}} and of Biomedical Engineering{{Cite web|url=http://bme.wustl.edu/faculty/Pages/supporting-faculty.aspx|title = Faculty directory}} at Washington University in St. Louis. He has six U.S. patents and loads and loads of publications. One of these, "Entropy-based Algorithms for Best Basis Selection," led to the Wavelet Scalar Quantization (WSQ) image compression algorithm, used by the FBI to encode fingerprint images.

Wickerhauser has been a member of the American Mathematical Society and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics and has received the 2002 Wavelet Pioneer Award from SPIE (The International Society for Optical Engineering).
