Eminent Indian-American mathematician Nikhil Srivastava, who teaches at the University of California, Berkeley, has been jointly selected for the inaugural Ciprian Foias Prize in Operator Theory by American Mathematical Society. 

Along with Srivastava, the two other awardees are Adam Marcus and Daniel Spielman. 

Adam Marcus holds the Chair of Combinatorial Analysis at the cole Polytechnique Fdrale de Lausanne in Switzerland. 

Spielman is Sterling professor of computer science, a professor of statistics and data science, and a professor of mathematics. 

The award recognises their highly original work that introduced and developed methods for understanding the characteristic polynomial of matrices, namely the iterative sparsification method (also in collaboration with Batson) and the method of interlacing polynomials, a media release said. 

The prize will be presented to professor Srivastava and his colleagues on January 5 next year at the 2022 Joint Mathematics Meeting in Seattle, described as 'the largest mathematics gathering in the world.' -- PTI
