Bhargav Bhatt (born 1983[1]) is a mathematician who is the Fernholz Joint Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study and Princeton University and works in arithmetic geometry and commutative algebra.[2]
Early life and education
Bhatt graduated with an B.S. in Applied Mathematics, summa cum laude from Columbia University under the supervision of Shou-Wu Zhang.[3] He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2010 under the supervision of Aise Johan de Jong.[3][4]
Career
Bhatt was a Postdoctoral Assistant Professor in mathematics at the University of Michigan from 2010 to 2014 (on leave from 2012 to 2014).[3] Bhatt was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study from 2012 to 2014.[3][5] He then returned to the University of Michigan, serving as an Associate Professor from 2014 to 2015, a Gehring Associate Professor from 2015 to 2018, a Professor from 2018 to 2020, and a Frederick W and Lois B Gehring Professor since 2020.[3] In July 2022, he was appointed as the Fernholz Joint Professor in the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study, with a joint appointment at Princeton University.[6]
Research
Bhatt's research focuses on commutative algebra and arithmetic geometry, especially on p-adic cohomology.[5][7] Bhatt and Peter Scholze have developed a theory of prismatic cohomology, which has been described as progress towards motivic cohomology by unifying singular cohomology, de Rham cohomology, ℓ-adic cohomology, and crystalline cohomology.[8][9]
Awards
In 2015, Bhatt was awarded a 5-year Packard Fellowship.[3][10] Bhatt received the 2021 New Horizons in Mathematics Prize.[3][7] He was elected to become a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2021.[3][11] Also in 2021 he received the Clay Research Award.[12] In 2022 he was awarded the Nemmers Prize in Mathematics.[13]
