Radha Kessar

Radha Kessar is an Indian mathematician who studies algebra and especially representation theory of finite groups.

Kessar studied at Panjab University with a bachelor's degree in 1991 and received his doctorate (after completing his master's degree in the same year) in 1995 with Ronald Solomon at Ohio State University (Blocks and Source Algebras for the Double Covers of the Symmetric Groups). From 1995 she was lecturer there , from 1997 Visiting Assistant Professor at Yale University and 1997 to 1999 in the same function at the University of Minnesota and 1999 to 2002 Junior Research Fellow at Oxford (University College).
