The Ramanujan Prize is handed out every year to an eminent Mathematician who is under the age of 45 years by the Indian Government's Ministry of Science and Technology.
Professor Neena Gupta, who is a mathematician at the Indian Statistical Institute in India's West Bengal state, becomes only the third woman to receive the prestigious '2021 DST-ICTP-IMU Ramanujan Prize for Young Mathematicians from developing countries' for her excellent work in commutative algebra and affine algebraic geometry, announced the Ministry of Science and Technology.
The 38-year-old's process for solving the Zariski cancellation problem, which is a fundamental problem in Algebraic Geometry, had earned Gupta the 2014 Young Scientists Award of the Indian National Science Academy.
