Mahesh Agarwal

Mahesh Agarwal is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, affiliated with the College of Arts, Sciences, and Letters. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and completed postdoctoral work at McMaster University.

• Education: B.Sc. (Delhi University), M.Sc. (Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur), Ph.D. (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor)

Dr. Agarwal’s research lies at the intersection of Number Theory and Data Science, with additional contributions to Geometry and Mathematics Education. His Number Theory work focuses on p-adic L-functions, Bloch-Kato conjecture, and automorphic forms, while his Data Science research emphasizes curriculum development and clinical informatics. His geometric studies explore duality in inscribed ellipses and inheritance relations in convex polygons.

His publications span journals like the Journal of Number Theory, Mathematische Zeitschrift, and the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association. Key themes include L-function arithmetic, geometric dualities, and data science education.

• Awards: National Board of Higher Mathematics Scholarship (1999-2001), multiple Outstanding Graduate Instructor awards (2006, 2007), Best Model for Engaging Students Virtually (2016)

Dr. Agarwal has contributed to implementing WeBWork, an online assignment platform, and has supervised research in Number Theory and Data Science. He has also collaborated with institutions like Harvard Medical School and Bentley University.
