The award was announced on September 26, 2021, on CSIR Foundation Day, by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) India. Saket Saurabh joined IMSc as a faculty member in 2009 after earning a Ph.D. in theoretical computer science from IMSc in 2008 and working as a postdoc at the University of Bergen in Norway. Parameterized complexity (a recent approach to computationally hard problems) is one of his many research interests. On parameterized complexity, he’s co-authored two books and conducted numerous surveys. At IMSc, he has mentored 13 Ph.D. students, making a total of 14.
