Hi there, I'm Hricha! I'm a PhD candidate in Mathematics at Arizona State University , advised by  Dr. Zilin Jiang. My research is primarily in spectral graph theory, where I study structural and extremal problems about graphs through their eigenvalues, often motivated by questions arising in discrete geometry. More recently, I have also been exploring topological combinatorics and the use of Borsuk-Ulam type results and related topological ideas in discrete problems.

Beyond my own research, I am active in the mathematical community. I am currently a co-organizer for the Special Session titled "Spectral Methods in Combinatorics and its Applications" at the upcoming AMS Fall Western Sectional, hosted here at Arizona State University. If you are interested in presenting at this session, please feel free to drop me an email—I would love to hear from you!

Originally from Nagpur, India, also known as the "Orange City" for its vibrant citrus groves! I completed my Integrated BS-MS degree in Mathematics at the Indian Institute of Science, Education and Research, Bhopal, in 2022. During my time there, I studied the Cayley Graphs under the supervision of Dr. Kashyap Rajeevsarathy, a valuable experience that shaped my research interests.
