Background

edit

Parimala was born and raised in Tamil Nadu, India.[5] She studied in Saradha Vidyalaya Girls' High School and Stella Maris College at Chennai. She received her M.Sc. from Madras University (1970) and Ph.D. from the University of Mumbai (1976); her advisor was R. Sridharan from TIFR.[6]

In 1987, she won the highest science award in India: The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize.[7]

She is a fellow of the Indian National Science Academy (New Delhi).[7]

Honors

edit

On National Science Day in 2020, Smriti Irani, head of the Ministry of Women and Child Development of the Government of India, announced the establishment of chairs at institutes across India in the names of Raman Parimala and other ten Indian women scientists.[9] Parimala was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Zurich in 1994 and gave a talk Study of quadratic forms — some connections with geometry Archived 3 October 2016 at the Wayback Machine. She gave a plenary address Arithmetic of linear algebraic groups over two dimensional fields at the Congress in Hyderabad in 2010.
