Chandrashekhar B. Khare (born 1967) is a professor of mathematics at the University of California Los Angeles. In 2005, he made a major advance in the field of Galois representations and number theory by proving the level 1 Serre conjecture,^[1] and later a proof of the full conjecture with Jean-Pierre Wintenberger. He is also the recipient of the Infosys Prize 2010 in the category of Mathematical Sciences.^[2]

Biography

Early years

Resident of Mumbai, India and completed his undergraduate education from Trinity College at Cambridge University. He finished his thesis in 1995 under the supervision of Haruzo Hida at California Institute of Technology. His Ph.D. thesis was published in the Duke Mathematical Journal. He proved Serre's conjecture with Jean-Pierre Wintenberger, published in Inventiones Mathematicae.^[3]

Career

He started his career as a Fellow at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. Currently, he is a professor at University of California, Los Angeles.
