Neena Gupta received the Indian National Science Academy Young Scientist award in 2014[3] for the solution she proposed to the Zariski Cancellation Problem.[4][5] in positive characteristic. Her work on the conjecture had also earned her the inaugural Saraswathi Cowsik Medal in 2013, awarded by the TIFR Alumni Association.[6] She is also the recipient of Abdus Salam ICTP's Ramanujan Prize for Young Mathematicians from Developing Countries in 2021.[7]

Education

Gupta graduated with honours in Mathematics from Bethune College in 2006. She earned her Post Graduation in Mathematics from the Indian Statistical Institute in 2008[8] and subsequently, her Ph.D. degree in 2011 with commutative algebra as her specialization under the guidance of Amartya Kumar Dutta.[9] The title of her dissertation was "Some results on Laurent polynomial fibrations and Quasi A*-algebras".[10]
