'''Ravindra Shripad Kulkarni''' (born 1942) is an Indian mathematician, specializing in [[differential geometry]]. He is known for the [[Kulkarni–Nomizu product]].<br />
<br />
==Education and career==<br />
Ravi S. Kulkarni received in 1968 his Ph.D. from Harvard University under [[Shlomo Sternberg]] with thesis ''Curvature and Metric''.<ref>{{MathGenealogy|id=35492}}</ref> For the academic year 1980–1981 he was a Guggenheim Fellow.<ref>[http://www.gf.org/fellows/all-fellows/ravi-s-kulkarni/ John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship | Ravi S. Kulkarni]</ref><br />
{{blockquote|After a research and teaching career spanning over 40 years in the US at Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University, Indiana University, and City University of New York, he returned to India as Distinguished Professor and Director of [[Harish-Chandra Research Institute]], one of three research institutes for Mathematics and Theoretical Physics in India, followed by a 7-year stint at the [[Indian Institute of Technology Bombay|Indian Institute of Technology (Bombay)]] as Mathematics Chair. He is interested in the philosophy of Mathematics and Science, and notes he has “…not yet figured out the enigma of how Ramanujan’s mind worked”.<ref>[https://www.centralsquaretheater.org/central-conversations/post-performance-conversation-ravi-kulkarni A post-performance conversation with Ravi Kulkarni, Pre/Post Shows Archive – Page 7 of 23 – Central Square Theater]</ref>}}<br />
<br />
He has served as the president of the [[Ramanujan Mathematical Society]].<ref>[http://www.ramanujanmathsociety.org Ramanujan Mathematical Society, official website]</ref><br />
