Education and career

Pramanik studied statistics at the Indian Statistical Institute, earning a bachelor's degree in 1993 and a master's in 1995. She then moved to the University of California, Berkeley, where she completed a doctorate in mathematics in 2001.[1] Her dissertation, Weighted Integrals in and the Maximal Conjugated Calderon–Zygmund Operator, was supervised by Michael Christ.[2] After short-term positions at the University of Wisconsin, University of Rochester, and California Institute of Technology, she joined the UBC faculty in 2006.[1] She was appointed director of BIRS in 2020.[3]

Recognition

Pramanik is the 2015–2016 winner of the Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize of the Association for Women in Mathematics,[4] and the 2016 winner of the Krieger–Nelson Prize, given annually by the Canadian Mathematical Society to an outstanding female researcher in mathematics.[5] In 2018 the Canadian Mathematical Society listed her in their inaugural class of fellows.[6]

gollark: One of them, yes, why?
gollark: Also small.
gollark: So now some data will be stored with LZW compression, which is not very *good* but is extremely fast.
gollark: I was implementing compression into potatOS, you see, so it uses less server storage space.
gollark: Great, I have no idea about compatibility but it works now!
