About Me

I am a Postdoctoral researcher at LUISS Guido Carli, Rome working with Prof. Giuseppe F. Italiano. I obtained my PhD from the Department of Mathematics, IIT Guwahati under the supervision of Prof. Partha Sarathi Mandal and Dr. H. Ramesh. From July to December 2019, I was visiting Prof. Stefan Schmid at the University of Vienna under the SERB Overseas Visiting Doctoral Fellowship.
