Bhargav Bhatt (born 1983[1]) is an Indian-American mathematician[2] who is the Fernholz Joint Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study and Princeton University and works in arithmetic geometry and commutative algebra.

in Applied Mathematics, summa cum laude from Columbia University under the supervision of Shou-Wu Zhang.

[3] Bhatt's research focuses on commutative algebra and arithmetic geometry, especially on p-adic cohomology.

[13] Bhatt won the Infosys Prize 2023 in Mathematical Sciences for his outstanding contributions to arithmetic geometry and commutative algebra.

Bhatt's fundamental work on prismatic cohomology (joint with Peter Scholze), his work around the direct summand conjecture in commutative algebra, introduces new ideas and powerful methods in an area at the heart of pure mathematics.
