Postdoctoral research:

1. TIFR Postdoctoral Fellowship

Institution: Tata Institute of Fundamental Research

Advisor: Prof. Eknath Ghate

Funding: Funded by postdoc fellowship from TIFR

Period: March 2021-Jan 2022

2. CRM Postdoctoral Fellowship

Institution: University of Montréal

Advisor: Prof. Antonio Lei

Funding: Funded by Centre de recherches mathématiques (CRM)

Period: 6 months (31 August 2020-February 2021)

3. CNRS-PIMS Postdoctoral Fellowship with teaching

Institution: University of British Columbia

Advisor: Prof. Sujatha Ramdorai

Funding:    Postdoctoral PIMS-CNRS and Faculty fellowship, and Teaching fellowship. 

Period: 24 months (Sept. 2018 – Aug. 2020).

Research Interests: Arithmetic geometry,  Iwasawa theory, p-adic Hodge theory, p-adic representation theory and p-adic Langlands Program.

Applications: Selmer groups in Iwasawa theory provides deep arithmetic insights into the theory of elliptic curves (defined by cubic equations) which are widely used in modern-day number theory. One of the most important problems in number theory and geometry today is the celebrated Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture (BSD) that describes how many points there can be on any elliptic curves. Although a full solution of this conjecture is still very far, classical Iwasawa Theory provides ways of studying arithmetic properties of elliptic curves and find examples of BSD.  More details here.
