Hi, I'm Badri Vishal Pandey.

I was born in Lucknow, a historically important city in Bharat (India). I did my schooling there. During my school life, I was inspired by the stories of mathematical genius Ramanujan and decided to pursue Number Theory. I earned my undergraduate (Hons.) and master's degrees from Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore Centre. I finished my PhD in mathematics at University of Virginia with Prof Ken Ono.  Currently, I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the Universität zu Köln in the group of Prof Dr. Kathrin Bringmann.
