About me:
I'm a Simons postdoctoral fellow at Centre de recherches mathématiques - Université de Montréal (CRM) working with Matilde Lalín and Antonio Lei.
Education/Positions held:
2022-present Simons postdoctoral researcher at Centre de recherches mathématiques - Université de Montréal (CRM).
2020-2022: postdoctoral researcher (Department of Mathematics, University of British Columbia)
supervisor: R.Sujatha
2015-2020: PhD in Math (Cornell University)
supervisor: Ravi Ramakrishna
2013-2015: Masters in Math (Chennai Math. Inst.)
2010-2013: BSc in Math and Computer science (Chennai Math. Inst.)
Future Appointments:
Starting August 2023, I will be an assistant professor (tenure track) at the Chennai Mathematical Institute, India.
Research interests:
-
Iwasawa theory,
-
Galois representations,
-
Arithmetic statistics,
-
Arithmetic topology (including knot theory and graph theory),
-
Diophantine equations.
Here is a link to my papers on the arxiv.
Organization:
-
During the academic year 2021-2022, I co-organized the UBC Number Theory Seminar.
-
During spring 2022, I organized the Iwasawa theory Virtual Seminar.
-
I am co-organizing the AMS special session in Iwasawa theory (Oct 1&2, University of Amherst).
Supervision:
At this time, I'm supervising a small number of undergraduate research projects. The projects that interest me range from a wide variety of topics in number theory. These projects are designed to be easily accessible to undergraduates with a modest background in Galois theory and algebraic number theory. The goal is prove results that are of interest to experts, for which the techniques can be learnt within a few months. These projects are not always guaranteed to immediately lead to interesting papers, but at least get the ball rolling.
