I am a 4th-year graduate student in the Department of Mathematics at Michigan State University, working with Prof. George Pappas. I completed my undergrad (BS-MS dual degree) from IISER Tirupati in 2022. During my master's, I worked with Prof. D.S. Nagaraj and wrote my thesis on class field theory.
I am broadly interested in arithmetic-algebraic geometry. I am currently working on understanding the Galois module structures of cohomology groups of Deligne-Lusztig varieties.
My other interests include Carnatic and Hindusthani classical music, badminton, cooking, films, literature, and the Bansuri (Indian bamboo flute).
