+Sourav Chatterjee is one of the mathematicians of the current decade. He was born in November, 1979.
-Sourav Chatterjee is one of the major probabilist of the current decade. He was born in November, 1979 in the 'City of Joy' or what people call Kolkata.Kolkata was one of the oldest cities of India, a town which is glorious because of its decadent past and its current flamboyant present. He was born in a middle class family with a humble, simplistic and a loving father who was a stickler for principles, and a homemaker mother who raised him with her love, care and affection. He was "their world" being the only child in the family. Sourav got his Bachelor and Master of Statistics from Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. He specialized in the Mathematical statistics and Probability. He was flourishing as a brilliant scholar and demonstrated extraordinary research acumen ever since his Graduate School which begun at Indian Statistical Institute. Following from there he came to Stanford University, which is the seat of academic excellence across the whole world. He worked under the supervision of Persi Diaconis who was not only a brilliant mathematician but also a truly "great man".
-After completing Graduate School in 2005,he joined the prestigious University of California at Berkeley as a Visiting Assistant Professor, only to get the tenure-track Assistant Professor position in 2006. Thus the he was among one of the youngest Indians to get the position of an Assistant Professor at University of California at Berkeley.He is credited with the pioneering work on Stein's method on Spin Glasses and also the Universality of Lindeberg principle. After that he has added several insights into the theory on Spin glasses and Stein's Method through his published and unpublished papers.
-Chatterjee has been one of those mathematicians who have contributed into the field through original research and dynamic insights which has provided a starting point for a lot of research. He became an Associate Professor of Mathematics and joined the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University. He teaches advanced probability courses in the University and is also engaged in a lot of dynamic research. He is also the Associate Editor of Annals of Probability and Annales de l'Institut Henri Poincare (B) Probabilities et Statistiques, since January 2008. He also won the Tweedie New Researcher Award in 2008, by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. Marina Vannucci, chair of the IMS Travel Awards Committee remarked, “The decision of the Committee was unanimous. Sourav Chatterjee has made striking extensions of classical ideas of Lindeberg and Charles Stein in the spirit of Talagrand’s concentration inequalities, leading to improved inequalities in a broad range of topics from spin glasses and random matrices to estimation of effective dimension of i.i.d. high-dimensional data.”(IMS News,2008).Apart from that he has been honored with awards and grants for his pioneering research. He continues to be a dynamic researcher in the present day.
