TIFR professor Sabyasachi Mukherjee from Mumbai among winners of 2025 Infosys Prize

Mukherjee was recently conferred with the Vigyan Yuva-Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar award by the Government of India.

Mukherjee said, “Being listed among the laureates of the Infosys Prize in Mathematical Sciences—alongside many world-renowned mathematicians—is a humbling and unexpected honor. In recent years, my collaborators and I have developed a new branch of conformal dynamics, uncovering surprising connections between two seemingly distinct areas of mathematics. I hope this recognition will inspire bright young researchers to explore this emerging field further. There is still a lot to discover and understand in this area of research, and I view this award as both an encouragement and a responsibility to continue pursuing deep mathematical questions.”

Highlighting Mukherjee’s research areas, the Infosys Prize on its official X handle stated, “His work links different areas of mathematics, such as group dynamics and complex analysis, to study patterns that emerge from simple rules. Prof. Mukherjee’s research reflects both the creativity and precision at the heart of mathematical thought.”

The annual Infosys Prize instituted by the Infosys Science Foundation recognises leading work from researchers under 40 years, working across mathematics, physics, life sciences, economics, engineering, computer sciences, and humanities and social sciences. The prize comprises a gold medal, a citation, and a cash award of $100,000.

Apart from Sabyasachi Mukherjee, other winners include Nikhil Agarwal, Paul A Samuelson Professor at MIT, USA (Economics), Andrew Ollett from the Department of South Asian Languages and Civilisations at the University of Chicago (Humanities and social science), Karthish Manthiram, Professor of Chemical Engineering at the California Institute of Technology (Physical science), Anjana Badrinarayanan, Associate Professor at the National Centre for Biological Sciences – Bengaluru (Life science), Prof. Sushant Sachdeva, Associate Professor at the University of Toronto (engineering and computer science).
