Bhargav Bhatt (mathematician)

Bhargav Bhatt (born 1983) is a mathematician who is the Frederick W. and Lois B. Gehring Professor at the University of Michigan and works in arithmetic geometry and commutative algebra.
Early life and education.
Bhatt graduated with an B.S. in Applied Mathematics, "summa cum laude" from Columbia University under the supervision of Shou-Wu Zhang. received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2010 under the supervision of Aise Johan de Jong.
Career.
Bhatt was a Postdoctoral Assistant Professor in mathematics at the University of Michigan from 2010 to 2014 (on leave from 2012 to 2014). Bhatt was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study from 2012 to 2014. He then returned to the University of Michigan, serving as an Associate Professor from 2014 to 2015, a Gehring Associate Professor from 2015 to 2018, a Professor from 2018 to 2020, and a Frederick W and Lois B Gehring Professor since 2020.
Research.
Bhatt's research focuses on commutative algebra and arithmetic geometry, especially on "p"-adic cohomology. Bhatt and Peter Scholze have developed a theory of prismatic cohomology, which has been described as progress towards motivic cohomology by unifying singular cohomology, de Rham cohomology, ℓ-adic cohomology, and crystalline cohomology.
Awards.
In 2015, Bhatt was awarded a 5-year Packard Fellowship. Bhatt received the 2021 New Horizons in Mathematics Prize. He was elected to become a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2021.
