V. C. JOSHUA is Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics, CMS College, Kerala, India. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Cochin University of Science and Technology, Kerala, India, in 2003. His research interests include stochastic modelling analysis and applications, queuing theory, inventory, and reliability. An author of one book and around 30 research papers, Dr Joshua is a reviewer on a number of international journals. He has been a participating scientist of two international bilateral scientific research projects and has organized three international conferences on applied probability and stochastic processes.
S. R. S. VARADHAN is the Frank Jay Gould Professor of Science at Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, USA, and is a renowned mathematician known for his fundamental contributions to probability theory. He completed his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, India. Professor Varadhan is known for his fundamental contributions to probability theory and for creating a unified theory of large deviations. He is a recipient of the National Medal of Science (in 2010) from President Barack Obama, the highest honour bestowed by the Government of the United States of America on scientists, engineers, and inventors. The Government of India awarded him the Padma Bhushan (in 2008). He received the Abel Prize (in 2007) for his work on large deviations with Monroe D. Donsker. He was also awarded the Leroy P. Steele Prize for Seminal Contribution to Research (in 1996) from the American Mathematical Society for his work with Daniel W. Stroock on diffusion processes, Margaret and Herman Sokol Award of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, New York University (in 1995), and Birkhoff Prize (in 1994). He also has two honorary degrees from Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France, and from Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, India.
Professor Varadhan is a member of the National Academy of
