Invited - Science Journalists Association of India (SJAI) Conference 2025 

Our research  (First-passage Brownian functionals with stochastic resetting -- https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1751-8121/ac677c)  is featured in the top 1% of the most cited papers in subject category Mathematical and Computational Science, published across the entire IOP Publishing journal portfolio within the past three years (2022 to 2024).

Serving as a Guest Editor for this Focus Issue (modeling the complexity and dynamics of socio-economic platforms) in Chaos. Submission open till December 2025.

In coordination with Sahana Ghosh, Editor, Nature India, we wrote a Highlight article in Nature India covering a recent work by L Mahadevan (Harvard) and collaborators in Nature Physics. The work by Mahadevan studied universal S-pattern of locomotion of baby anacondas and how "Goldilocks" plays a crucial role in optimizing body movement. 

Arup won the prestigious Fulbright-Nehru doctoral research fellowship 2025; he will join Harvard University to work with Prof. L Mahadevan's group on stochastic robotics.

Arup's paper selected as a cover for the special issue in Chaos. See: https://pubs.aip.org/aip/cha/issue/35/3

JSTAT, on its 20th anniversary, has published a special issue showcasing influential articles since their inception. Our work on Resetting was selected as one of them.
