Rajesh Gopakumar (born 1967) is a physicist at Harish-Chandra Research Institute in Allahabad, India. He was all india first in IIT JEE in 1987. He completed his undergraduate in physics from IIT Kanpur and his doctorate from Princeton University under the supervision of David Gross [http://www.physicskerala.org/Rajesh.html] . His primary area of research is Topological string theory, where he is known for his work with Cumrun Vafa on Gopakumar-Vafa duality and Gopakumar-Vafa invariants.

Gopakumar was awarded the 2004 B.M. Birla Science Prize in Physics [http://www.iitkalumni.org/newsupdateindetail.asp] and the 2006 ICTP Prize. [http://www.ictp.trieste.it/~sci_info/awards/Prize/PrizeWinners/Prize06.html] :
