Mohit Pal

I am currently a Visiting Scientist at the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, hosted by Prof. Subhamoy Maitra. Prior to this, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Bergen, Norway, under the mentorship of Prof. Lilya Budaghyan. I hold a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Indian Institute of Technology Jammu, where I completed my dissertation under the supervision of Dr. Sartaj Ul Hasan. Prior to my doctoral studies, I served as a project fellow at the Harish-Chandra Research Institute, Allahabad, working with Prof. Kalyan Chakraborty and Prof. R. Thangadurai. I obtained my M.Sc. in Mathematics from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, where I conducted my master’s thesis research under the guidance of Prof. Ratna Dutta and Dr. Ramakrishna Nanduri. My academic journey began with a B.Sc. in Mathematics from the University of Allahabad.
