Early life and education
Phoolan Prasad was born in a village Khejuri, District Ballia, UP and educated up to class 8 there.
Then he studied in Nalhati HP High School, Krishnath College Berhampore, received his B.Sc. from the
Career
Prasad started his career as a lecturer in the Department of Applied Mathematics in 1967 at Indian Institute of Science, thereafter he became a Professor in 1977. Meanwhile, he also remained a Postdoctoral Fellow at
Prasad has done some significant work in the area on non-linear hyperbolic equations. He succeeded in assessing the basic properties of the equations of various physical phenomena, generalized these mathematical properties and then used his theory to explain new results in the field of non-linear waves. He gave a proof of the existence of a new type of wave on the interface of a clear liquid and a mixture in a sedimentation process.[2]
