About Me:

I am a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Bergen Norway, where Prof. Lilya Budaghyan is my host advisor. I recieved my Ph.D. degree in Mathematics from the Indian Institute of Technology Jammu, where I wrote my thesis under the supervision of Dr. Sartaj Ul Hasan. Prior to that, I was a project fellow at the Harish Chandra Research Institute Allahabad, where I worked under the mentorship of Prof. Kalyan Chakraborty and Prof. R. Thangadurai. I received my M.Sc degree in Mathematics from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, where I wrote my master’s thesis under the supervision of Prof. Ratna Dutta. I recieved my B.Sc Degree from the University of Allahabad.
