About me

In July 2022, I successfully completed my PhD in Mathematics from the University of Houston under the supervision of Dr. Alan Haynes. Prior to starting my journey in the PhD program in Fall 2017, I completed my Masters degree in Mathematics in Summer 2017 and a Bachelors (with Hons.) degree in Mathematics in Summer 2015 from India. I have been playing Badminton since elementary school and some of my other interests include reading, cooking, watching investigative documentaries and travelling.

I will joining the Department of Mathematics, University of Connecticut as a Visiting Assistant Professor in Fall 2022! CV(Research); CV(Teaching); Research Statement; Teaching Statement; Diversity Statement


Research

My research interests include Number Theory, Dynamical Systems and Ergodic Theory. My recent projects are related to Diophantine approximation in p-adic solenoids and its interactions with dynamical systems.
