'''Vasudevan Srinivas''' (born 6 June 1958) is an Indian [[mathematician]] who specialises in [[algebraic geometry]]. He is a Senior Professor in the School of Mathematics of [[Tata Institute of Fundamental Research]], [[Mumbai]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Vasudevan Srinivas|url=http://www.math.tifr.res.in/~srinivas/|publisher=Tata Institute of Fundamental Research|access-date=29 June 2013}}</ref>

Srinivas received the BSc degree from Bangalore University and did his MS (1978) and PhD (1982) degrees at the [[University of Chicago]]. [[Spencer Bloch]] was his research supervisor.<ref>{{mathgenealogy|id=53489}}</ref> He began his academic career at the [[Tata Institute of Fundamental Research]], [[Mumbai]] as a Visiting Fellow in 1983.

Srinivas has worked mainly in [[algebraic geometry]] specialising in the study of algebraic cycles on singular algebraic varieties. He has also worked on the interface with commutative algebra: on projective modules, divisor class groups, unique factorization domains, and Hilbert functions and multiplicity.

He was awarded the [[Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology]] in 2003, the highest science award in [[India]], in the mathematical sciences category.
