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 interests to experts on topics of widespread interest, 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.
