Education and career

edit

Pramanik studied statistics at the Indian Statistical Institute, earning a bachelor's degree in 1993 and a master's in 1995. She then moved to the University of California, Berkeley, where she completed a doctorate in mathematics in 2001.[1] Her dissertation, Weighted Integrals in   and the Maximal Conjugated Calderon–Zygmund Operator, was supervised by F. Michael Christ.[2] After short-term positions at the University of Wisconsin, University of Rochester, and California Institute of Technology, she joined the UBC faculty in 2006.[1] She was appointed director of BIRS in 2020.[3]

From 2011 to 2019, Pramanik was an editor for the Transactions of the American Mathematical Society[1].

Recognition

edit

Pramanik is the 2015–2016 winner of the Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize of the Association for Women in Mathematics,[4] and the 2016 winner of the Krieger–Nelson Prize, given annually by the Canadian Mathematical Society to an outstanding female researcher in mathematics.[5] In 2018 the Canadian Mathematical Society listed her in their inaugural class of fellows.[6] She was named a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society, in the 2022 "for contributions to complex and harmonic analysis and mentoring and support for the participation of under-represented groups in mathematics"[7]. Pramanik was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2022[8].
