Amalendu Krishna

Amalendu Krishna (* in Bihar ) is an Indian mathematician who studies algebraic geometry . He is a professor at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai .

Krishna comes from the middle class and attended public schools in Bihar. He was accepted into the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur , which he left because he wanted to specialize in pure mathematics. In 1996 he received his masters degree from the Indian Statistical Institute . At the Tata Institute he was a student of Vasudevan Srinivas , where he received his doctorate in 2001 (Zero cycles and K-theory on normal surfaces). From 2001 to 2004 he was Hedrick Assistant Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles and in 2004/05 at the Institute for Advanced Study . Then he was back at the Tata Institute.

In 2015 he received the ICTP Ramanujan Prize . He received the award for work in algebraic K-theory, on algebraic cycles and the theory of motives. In 2011 he received the Swarnajayanti Prize in Mathematics and in 2009 the Mathematics Prize of the BM Birla Science Center.
