Ushadevi Bhosle

Dr. Ushadevi Narendra Bhosle is an Indian mathematician, educator and researcher. She specialised in Algebraic Geometry. She worked on the moduli spaces of bundles.

She got a B.Sc. degree in 1969 and an M.Sc. degree in 1971 from University of Pune, Shivaji University, respectively. She commenced her post-graduate studies in 1971 from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and got her doctorate degree of philosophy under the guidance of her mentor S.Ramanan in 1980.

She started her career with being a Research Assistant at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research from 1971 to 1974. Then she became the Research Associate II in the same institute Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, from 1974 to 1977. Later on, she became a Research Fellow from 1977-1982 and the Fellow from 1982–1990 at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. In 1990, she became a Reader in West Virginia, United States. In 1995, she was the Associate Professor till 1998 and later, she was Professor till 2001. Since 2001, she is the Professor (h).

She is the member of FASc, FNASc, and VBAC international committees. She also was the senior associate of International Centre of Theoretical Physics, Italy. She was a fellow member of the Indian National Science Academy, Bangalore and National Academy of Sciences, Allahabad.
