Mythily Ramaswamy (born 6 June 1954) is an Indian mathematician and professor in the Department of Mathematics at the TIFR Centre for Applicable Mathematics of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Bangalore.[1] Her research involves functional analysis and controllability of partial differential equations.
Ramaswamy was born near Mumbai, to a banking family, but moved often to other parts of India as a child.[2] She obtained her doctorate in 1990 from Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris. Her dissertation, Sur des questions de symetrie dans des problemes elliptiques [''On questions of symmetry in elliptic problems''] was supervised by Henri Berestycki.
Ramaswamy was the 2004 winner of the Kalpana Chawla Award of the Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology, "given to a young woman scientist for achievements in the field of science and technology".[3] She was elected to the Indian Academy of Sciences in 2007.[4] She became a Fulbright Scholar for 2016–2017, funding her to visit Michael Renardy at Virginia Tech.[5]
