'''Gopinath Kallianpur''' (1925–2015)<ref name=Obituary>{{cite journal|title=Gopinath Kallianpur, 1925–2015|journal=IMS Bulletin|date=Aug 28, 2015|url=http://bulletin.imstat.org/2015/08/obituary-gopinath-kallianpur-1925-2015/}}</ref> was an [[Indian American]] [[mathematician]] and [[statistician]] who became the first director of the [[Indian Statistical Institute]] (1976–79) under its new Memorandum of Association. During his tenure as the director the new centre of [[Indian Statistical Institute|ISI]] at Bangalore, Karnataka was founded.

==Early life==
He received his Bachelor's degree in 1945 and Master's degree in 1946 from the University of Madras.<ref>{{cite web|title=Gopinath Kallianpur Alumni Distinguished Professor |url=http://www.stat.unc.edu/facult/kallianpur.html |publisher=[[University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill]] }}{{dead link|date=March 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> In [[Bombay]] Kallianpur came in contact with [[Damodar Dharmananda Kosambi|D. D. Kosambi]], a well-known mathematician and versatile scholar and with [[Subbaramiah Minakshisundaram]] at [[Andhra University]] which was then in [[Guntur]]. Under the supervision of [[Herbert Robbins]], of the Statistics Department of the [[University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill]] he obtained his doctoral degree in 1951 in the then developing field of [[stochastic process]]es.

==Academic life==
In the start of his career he held the position of lecturer at the [[University of California, Berkeley]], during 1951–52, and was a member of the [[Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton]], from 1952 to 1953. In 1953 Kallianpur joined [[Indian Statistical Institute|ISI]] and stayed in [[Calcutta]] until the summer of 1956. During the period distinguished scientists, like [[Ronald Fisher]], [[Norbert Wiener]] and [[Yuri Linnik]] visited the Institute. [[Norbert Wiener]] collaborated with Kallianpur on topics including [[ergodic theory]], [[prediction theory]] and generalized [[harmonic analysis]]<ref>{{cite web|title=Norbert Wiener and Probability Theory|url=http://www.ias.ac.in/resonance/Jan1999/pdf/Jan1999p32-34.pdf|publisher=[[Indian Academy of Sciences]]}}</ref> Between 1956 and 1976 Kallianpur held a number of faculty positions at the [[Michigan State University]] (1956–59, 1961–63); [[Indiana University]] (1959–61); [[University of Minnesota]]. At [[University of Minnesota]] Kallianpur collaborated with [[Charlotte Striebel]], a member of the Research Group of [[Lockheed Corporation]] working on filtering and control problems.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Kallianpur |first=Gopinath |author2=C.

In 1979 he was appointed Alumni Distinguished Professor at the [[University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill]] (1979–2001). Six years after his retirement in 2001 Professor Kallianpur moved to Nashville, Tennessee where he continued to work on mathematics, until moving to Cleveland, Ohio in 2014.<ref>{{cite web|title=Honoring Gopinath Kallianpur on his 85th birthday.|url=https://www.math.lsu.edu/cosa/4-1-00%5Bkallianpur%5D.pdf|publisher=[[Louisiana State University]]}}</ref>
