Kiran Sridhara Kedlaya (/ˈkɪrən ˈʃriːdər kɛdˈlɑːjə/;[1] born July 1974) is an Indian American mathematician. He currently is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of California, San Diego, but will soon[when?] move to the University of Cambridge.
At age 16, Kedlaya won a gold medal at the International Mathematics Olympiad,[2] and would later win a silver and another gold medal. While an undergraduate student at Harvard, he was a three-time Putnam Fellow. A 1996 article by The Harvard Crimson described him as "the best college-age student in math in the United States".[3]
Kedlaya was runner-up for the 1996 Morgan Prize, for a paper[4] in which he substantially improved on results of Babai and Sós (1985)[5] on the size of the largest product-free subset of a finite group of order n.
He gave an invited talk at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2010, on the topic of "Number Theory".[6]
In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[7]
He was also a contestant on the game show Jeopardy! in 2011, winning one episode.[8]
