Prof. Kapil Hari Paranjape
Prof. Paranjape is well known for his contribution to algebraic geometry, particularly algebraic cycles. His academic career is marked by exceptional achievements. He received his M.Sc. in Mathematics from IIT Kanpur (1977-1982). Based on his work, done at TIFR he was awarded a PhD in 1992 at the University of Mumbai. Since 1989 he has held several faculty/visitor positions in numerous institutes including the University of Chicago, Max-Planck-Institut-für Mathematik, California Institute of Technology, Washington University, University of Paris, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Indian Statistical Institute, and Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Currently, he is serving as a professor in the Department of Mathematics at IISER Mohali where he has mentored many master's and PhD students.
Prof. Paranjape's research expertise/Interest lies in Algebraic Geometry more specifically algebraic cycles. He made a significant contribution in the direction of the Bloch-Bellinson conjecture on algebraic cycles where he (in collaboration with Green and Griffith) proved that the conjecture is strict in the sense that for varieties of non-zero geometric genus defined over transcendence base field, there is a non-trivial cycle in the conjectural filtered piece. he has also proved some significant results in the direction of conjectural cycle theoretic analog of the Lefschetz theorem. On a different direction, his work on connecting modular forms and Calabi-Yau varieties has made a significant contribution to number theory.
