Dwijendra Kumar Ray-Chaudhuri (Born November 1, 1933) an Indian born [1] mathematician and a statistician is a professor emeritus at Ohio State University [2]. He and his student R. M. Wilson together solved Kirkman's schoolgirl problem in 1968.
He is best known for his work in design theory and the theory of error-correcting codes in which the class of BCH codes is partly named after him and his Ph.D. advisor Bose [3]. Ray-Chaudhuri is the recipient of the Euler Medal by the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications for his career contributions to combinatorics.
