Their brief citations read:
Professor Mouhamed Moustapha Fall has made outstanding contributions in the fields of partial differential equations and differential geometry, in particular through fundamental results concerning the existence and non-existence of solutions of linear and nonlinear partial differential equations inspired by deep questions in mathematical physics and differential geometry. He is also highly recognised for his relentless support for the advancement of the mathematical sciences in Africa through his outstandng research and public engagement. In recognition of his many contributions, he was awarded the 2022 Ramanujan Prize and was also an invited speaker at the 2018 International Congress of Mathematicians in Rio de Janeiro.
Professor Raman Parimala has made fundamental contributions to the theory of quadratic forms, Galois cohomology, and the theory of principal bundles for algebraic groups. Among her many achievements, we note especially her proof with Eva Bayer-Fluckiger of the triviality of principal bundles for classical algebraic groups over fields of cohomological dimension at most two, a deep and difficult result that had been conjectured by Jean-Pierre Serre. Professor Parimala's research has been distinguished throughout her career by her masterful amalgamation of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry, whereby intricate constructions at the interface of the three domains lead to the resolution of difficult problems of both classical and modern nature.
