Chander Kanta Gupta (8 October 1938 – 27 March 2016)[1] [2] was a Canadian distinguished professor of mathematics at the University of Manitoba, known for her research in abstract algebra and group theory.[3] Much of her research concerns the automorphisms in different varieties of groups.
Gupta earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Jammu and Kashmir, a master's degree from the Aligarh Muslim University, another master's degree from the Australian National University, and a Ph.D. in 1967 from ANU under the supervision of Michael Frederick Newman.[4]
She was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 1991, and awarded the Krieger–Nelson Prize of the Canadian Mathematical Society in 2000.[4]
Her husband, Narain Gupta (1936–2008) was also an ANU alumnus, and a distinguished professor of mathematics at the University of Manitoba.[5]
