Ajit Iqbal Singh
Ajit Iqbal Singh (born 1943
[1]) is an
Indian mathematician, specialising in
functional analysis and
harmonic analysis. Singh is a
Fellow of the
Indian National Science Academy (INSA), India's apex body of scientists and technologists.
[2] She is also a fellow of the
National Academy of Sciences (India), based in
Allahabad.

Education
Singh completed her under graduation in Mathematics from
Indraprastha College[4] and graduated in the same subject from
Delhi University in 1963 and 1965, respectively.
[2] She earned a PhD in mathematics from the
University of Cambridge in 1969. Her dissertation titled 'Contributions to the Theory of Linear Operators in Locally Convex Spaces', was supervised by
Frank Smithies.
[5] Singh attended Cambridge as a
Commonwealth Scholar at
Newnham College from 1966 to 1969.

Career
Singh began teaching immediately after completing her masters degree, as faculty at
Indraprastha College, Delhi University. On completing her PhD from Cambridge, she returned to Delhi and joined
Hindu College.
She taught alongside her research in functional analysis and harmonic
analysis. In 1974, Singh was appointed Reader in Mathematics at Delhi
University South Campus and continued on as Professor from 1984 to 2008.
From 2008, she has been a Visiting Professor at the
Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi Centre.

Work
Singh has worked on
linear operators in locally convex spaces,
topological algebra, spectral synthesis in hypergroups, multipliers and module
homomorphisms,
semigroup algebras,
applications of harmonic analysis to differential equations and
orthogonal polynomials, geometry of the range of a vector measure, and
quotient rings of algebras of functions and operators.
