Jennifer S. Balakrishnan is an American number theorist. She is best known for her identification of the rational solutions to the cursed curve, a Diophantine equation, as well as the development and implementation of algorithms in Computational number theory.
Life and career
editJennifer Shyamala Sayaka Balakrishnan was born to Shizuko and Narayana Balakrishnan, a professor at the University of Guam. She obtained bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics from Harvard University. In 2011, she received a PhD from Massachusetts Institute of Technology,[1] Her thesis supervisor was Kiran Kedlaya. Her thesis was titled Coleman integration for hyperelliptic curves: algorithms and applications.[2]
In May 2011, Balakrishnan married Vivek Venkatachalam.[1]
In September 2011, Balakrishnan began a post-doctoral fellowship at Harvard.[1]
Between 2013–2016, Balakrishnan was a Titchmarsh Research Fellow at the University of Oxford. In 2016, Balakrishnan was awarded the Clare Booth Luce assistant professorship at Boston University. Her research work as well as mentorship of young women mathematicians at Oxford was lauded.[3]
