Sachin Munshi is an Indian-American mathematician known for his academic contributions to linear algebra and complex analysis.

Munshi earned his BS and MA in Mathematics from the University at Albany, SUNY in 2009 and 2012, respectively. He received his PhD from the University at Albany in 2020 where his advisor was Rongwei Yang. His dissertation was about viewing Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism and Yang-Mills equations of Yang-Mills theory from the perspective of complex analysis and complex variable theory. He is currently working on a manuscript regarding Yang-Mills equations in the context of C*-algebras and complex differential forms.

At the age of 5, Munshi was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy that gradually deteriorated his physical abilities, and required the use of a wheelchair for his mobility. He relied on speech-to-text software to complete his coursework and a portable ventilator to sustain breathing. He is currently an online adjunct professor of mathematics at Grand Canyon University, where he is a member of the university's 2022-2023 Faculty Advisory Board. Munshi resides in a suburb of Albany, New York with his father Upender, a physician at Albany Medical Center, and his mother Daisy, a former high school biology teacher.
