Jang Bahadur Shukla (13 January 1937 – 15 March 2023) was an Indianmathematician who specialised inmathematical modelling of ecological,environmental, physiological, and engineering systems.
He was awarded in 1982 theShanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, the highest science award in India, in the mathematical sciences category. Apart from this, he won various other prestigious awards including theFICCI Award, which is the highest national award by industry in physical sciences including mathematics, in 1980, and the Distinguished Service Award in Mathematical Sciences from Vijnana Parishad of India in 1997. Shukla had proposed a newdeterministic theory regarding the effect of surface roughness inlubrication. He has done significant work onbiofluid dynamics, in particular peristaltic transport offaeces inintestines and on interaction of biorheological aspects of blood flow and arterialstenosis. He has also made contributions in the area ofpopulation dynamics of interacting species and mathematical theory ofepidemics by taking into account environmental effects.[1] Shukla died on 15 March 2023, at the age of 86.[2]
