Dipendra Prasad (born 1960)[1] is an Indian mathematician. He is a professor of mathematics at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. He is a number theorist known for his work in the areas of automorphic representations and the Gan–Gross–Prasad conjecture.[2][3][4] He was the president of Commission for Developing Countries (CDC) of International Mathematical Union (2018–2022)[5] and of Indian Math Society (2021–2022).[6]

Two of his siblings, Gopal Prasad and Shrawan Kumar, are also mathematicians.

Education[edit]

Prasad obtained his bachelor's degree from the St. Xavier's College, Mumbai in 1978 before moving to the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur for a Masters which he completed in 1980.[7] From 1980–1985, Prasad worked as a research scholar at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai (TIFR Mumbai).[8] He then completed his PhD under the supervision of Benedict Gross at Harvard, in 1989.[8][9]
