Awards:

SERB-University of Alberta Overseas Visiting Doctoral Fellowship (jointly supported by Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) and the University of Alberta)

Research Interests:

PDE-Based Framework: Developing reaction-diffusion models with nonlinear incidence and cognitive mobility to study the impact of geographical dispersion on disease transmission.

SI Model with Non-Monotone Incidence: I am also investigating the effects of non-monotone incidence rates and saturated treatment functions on leptospirosis dynamics. In this research, I am utilizing innovative methods such as inverse methods and machine learning to predict climate-sensitive disease dissemination.

Diffusion Model with Host Dynamics: Exploring the role of host animals and humans in leptospirosis spread through non local reactions and distributed delays, analyzing the impact of seasonality on disease patterns.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from Miranda House, University of Delhi, and a Master’s in Mathematics from Jamia Millia Islamia, India. 

I am pursuing my PhD in Mathematics at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. My research focuses on Mathematical Biology, specifically on developing mathematical models to understand disease dynamics. 

As part of an Overseas Doctoral Visiting Fellowship program, I worked with Prof. Hao Wang at the University of Alberta to develop reaction-diffusion models with nonlinear incidence and cognitive mobility. My work aims to study the impact of geographical dispersion on disease transmission, providing insights for effective disease control strategies.
