Education
Khot obtained his bachelor's degree in computer science from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in 1999.[5] He received his doctorate degree in computer science from Princeton University in 2003 under the supervision of Sanjeev Arora. His doctoral dissertation was titled "New Techniques for Probabilistically Checkable Proofs and Inapproximability Results."[6]
Honours and awards
Khot is a two time silver medallist representing India at the International Mathematical Olympiad (1994 and 1995).[7][8] Khot topped the highly difficult IIT JEE entrance exam in 1995.
He has been awarded the Microsoft Research New Faculty Fellowship Award (2005),[9] the Alan T. Waterman Award (2010), the Rolf Nevanlinna Prize for his work on the Unique Games Conjecture (2014), and the MacArthur Fellowship (2016).[10]
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2017,[11] and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2023.[12]
