Ram Prakash Gupta was a professor of graph theory at Waterloo, Canada and at Ohio State University. He received his Ph.D. in graph theory from the Indian Statistical Institute, Calcutta, India in 1968; his official advisor was C. R. Rao,[1] but he did much of his doctoral work under the mentorship of S. S. Shrikhande. Gupta is known for his independent discovery of Vizing's theorem on edge coloring of undirected graphs,[2] which he announced two years after Vizing's Russian-language publication of the theorem.[3]
