About Me

I am currently a Designated Assistant Professor at the Graduate School of Mathematics, Nagoya University. Before that, I have completed my Ph.D. in Theoretical Computer Science at IIT Gandhinagar under the guidance of Bireswar Das. Even before that, I earned my M.Phil. degree (2019) and M.Sc. degree (2018) in (pure) mathematics from Sardar Patel University, Vallabh Vidyanagar, Gujarat, India. Here is my CV.  

My Erdős number is three via Paul Erdős →  Peter J Cameron →  Andrea Lucchini →  Dhara Thakkar
