Rajesh Pereira is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Guelph. His research focuses on matrix theory, quantum information, functional analysis, and classical analysis, with significant contributions to problems in polynomial theory and quantum entanglement.
Education:
- B.Sc. in Applied Mathematics, McGill University (1996)
- M.Sc. in Mathematics, McGill University (1998)
- Ph.D. in Mathematics, University of Toronto (2003)
Rajesh Pereira's research in matrix theory includes work on diagonal matrix scalings, doubly stochastic matrices (solving the Perfect-Mirsky conjecture for n=4), and extending Wielandt's theorem to Banach algebras. In quantum information, he investigates quantum fidelity, entanglement, coherence, and privacy, utilizing tools such as completely positive linear maps and majorization. His early work resolved several conjectures in the analytic theory of polynomials.
He has successfully supervised several graduate students, including:
- George Hutchinson (Ph.D., 2018)
- Connor Paul-Paddock (M.Sc., 2016)
- Jeremy Levick (Ph.D., 2015)
- Preeti Mohindru (Ph.D., 2014)
- Jeffrey Tsang (Ph.D., 2014)
- Dustin Styner (M.Sc., 2012)
His research has been supported by Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Discovery grants (2005, 2010, 2016). He serves on the editorial board of Linear and Multilinear Algebra (2016-present) and is the Problem Corner editor for IMAGE, the newsletter of the International Linear Algebra Society (2016-present). Additionally, he has organized the William Lowell Putnam competition since 2013.
