V. Srinivas (Vasudevan Srinivas) (born 6 June 1958) is an Indian mathematician who specialises in algebraic geometry. He is a Senior Professor in the School of Mathematics of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai.[1]
Srinivas received the BSc degree from Bangalore University and did his MS (1978) and PhD (1982) degrees at the University of Chicago. Spencer Bloch was his research supervisor.[2] He began his academic career at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai as a Visiting Fellow in 1983.
Srinivas has worked mainly in algebraic geometry specialising in the study of algebraic cycles on singular algebraic varieties. He has also worked on the interface with commutative algebra: on projective modules, divisor class groups, unique factorization domains, and Hilbert functions and multiplicity.
He was awarded the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology in 2003, the highest science award in India, in the mathematical sciences category. [3]
