Welcome to my homepage!
I am an Assistant Professor at School of Basic Sciences, IIT Bhubaneswar, Odisha, INDIA.
My research is mainly focused on Number Theory, a branch of Mathematics. In recent times, I have been working on analytic and arithmetic aspects of Fourier coefficients and Hecke eigenvalues of elliptic modular forms as well as Siegel modular forms. I am also interested in various L-functions attached to these modular forms and properties of Dedekind zeta functions. A list of my research articles can be found here.
Here are the links to my other profiles MathSciNet, (Oldview) Researchgate, IIT Bhubaneswar and Scopus.
