    Bhargav Bhatt (born 1983[1]) is an Indian-American mathematician[2] who is the Fernholz Joint Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study and Princeton University and works in arithmetic geometry and commutative algebra[3].

    Early life and education

    Bhatt graduated with a B.S. in Applied Mathematics,

    summa cum laude from Columbia University under the supervision of Shou-Wu Zhang.[4] He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2010 under the supervision of Aise Johan de Jong.[4][5]

    Career

    Bhatt was a Postdoctoral Assistant Professor in mathematics at the University of Michigan from 2010 to 2014 (on leave from 2012 to 2014).[4] Bhatt was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study from 2012 to 2014.[4][6] He then returned to the University of Michigan, serving as an associate professor from 2014 to 2015, a Gehring Associate Professor from 2015 to 2018, a Professor from 2018 to 2020, and a Frederick W and Lois B Gehring Professor since 2020.[4] In July 2022, he was appointed as the Fernholz Joint Professor in the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study, with a joint appointment at Princeton University.[3]

    Research

    Bhatt's research focuses on

    ℓ-adic cohomology, and crystalline cohomology.[8][9]

    Awards

    In 2015, Bhatt was awarded a 5-year

    Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2021.[4][11] Also in 2021 he received the Clay Research Award.[12] In 2022 he was awarded the Nemmers Prize in Mathematics.[13] Bhatt won the Infosys Prize 2023 in Mathematical Sciences
    for his outstanding contributions to arithmetic geometry and commutative algebra. Bhatt's fundamental work on prismatic cohomology (joint with Peter Scholze), his work around the direct summand conjecture in commutative algebra, introduces new ideas and powerful methods in an area at the heart of pure mathematics.
