==Career==
Dr. Ramdorai initially worked in the areas of algebraic theory of quadratic forms and arithmetic geometry of elliptic curves.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://nobelprizeseries.in/tbis/s-ramdorai|title=Sujatha Ramdorai {{!}} The Best of Indian Science|website=nobelprizeseries.in|access-date=2019-02-16}}</ref> Together with [[John H. Coates|Coates]], Fukaya, [[Kazuya Kato|Kato]], and Venjakob she formulated a non-commutative version of the main conjecture of [[Iwasawa theory]], on which much foundation of this important subject is based.<ref>[http://www.abelprisen.no/en/nyheter/artikler/sujatha.html Interview with Sujatha]</ref> [[Iwasawa theory]] has its origins in the work of a great Japanese mathematician, [[Kenkichi Iwasawa]].<ref>http://gonitsora.com/an-interview-with-prof-sujatha-ramdorai/</ref>

She holds an adjunct professorship position at [[Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.iiserpune.ac.in/research/disciplines/mathematics|title=IISER Pune|website=www.iiserpune.ac.in|access-date=2017-06-20}}</ref>

Working with her husband Srinivasan Ramdorai and Indian mathematics writer V.S. Sastry, Sujatha Ramdorai conceived of and partially funded the [[Ramanujan Math Park]] in [[Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh]], which was inaugurated at the end of 2017. The park is dedicated to mathematics education and honors the great Indian mathematician [[Srinivasa Ramanujan]] (1887-1920).

She is a member of the Scientific Committee of several international research agencies such as the Indo-French Centre for Promotion of Advanced Research, Banff International Research Station, International Centre for Pure and Applied Mathematics. She was a member of the [[National Knowledge Commission]] from 2007 to 2009. She is at present a member of the Prime Minister's Scientific Advisory Council from 2009 onwards and also a member of the National Innovation Council.<ref>[http://gonitsora.com/an-interview-with-prof-sujatha-ramdorai/ An Interview with Prof. Sujatha Ramdorai, http://GonitSora.com]</ref> She is also on the advisory board of [[Gonit Sora]].<ref>http://gonitsora.com/about-us/</ref>
