He studied at the University of Delhi, where he completed his BSc degree in physics and MSc degree in mathematics, and moved to the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, where he completed his Ph.D. under the probabilist K. R. Parthasarathy.[3]

Research[edit]

Bhatia's research interests include matrix inequalities, calculus of matrix functions, means of matrices, and connections between harmonic analysis, geometry and matrix analysis.[4]

He is one of the eponyms of the Bhatia–Davis inequality.

Academic life[edit]

Rajendra Bhatia founded the series Texts and Readings in Mathematics in 1992[5] and the series Culture and History of Mathematics on the history of Indian mathematics.
