Early life

Manindra Agrawal obtained a B.Tech. and a Ph.D. at IIT Kanpur. He attained his undergraduate degree between 1982 and 1986.

Career

He co-created the AKS primality test with Neeraj Kayal and Nitin Saxena, for which he and his co-authors won the 2002 Clay Research Award, the 2006 Fulkerson Prize, and the 2006 Gödel Prize. The test is the first deterministic algorithm to test an n-digit number for primality in a time that has been proven to be polynomial in n.^[2]

In September 2008, Agrawal was chosen for the first Infosys Mathematics Prize for outstanding contributions in the broad field of mathematics.^[3]
