Manindra Agrawal (born 20 May 1966) is a professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the Dean of Faculty Affairs (DoFA) at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. He was also the recipient of the first Infosys Prize for Mathematics.,[1] and the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Award in Mathematical Sciences in 2003. He has been honored with Padma Shri in 2013.[2]
Early life
Manindra Agrawal obtained a B.Tech. from IIT Kanpur (1986 batch) and a Ph.D. from the same institute.
Career
He co-created the AKS primality test with Neeraj Kayal and Nitin Saxena, for which he and his co-authors won the 2006 Fulkerson Prize, and the 2006 Gödel Prize. He was also awarded with 2002 Clay Research Award for this work.The test is the first unconditional deterministic algorithm to test an n-digit number for primality in a time that has been proven to be polynomial in n.[3]
In September 2008, Agrawal was chosen for the first Infosys Mathematics Prize for outstanding contributions in the broad field of mathematics.[4] He was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study in 2003-04.[5]
