Teaching, Mentoring & Seminars

Teaching at IISERs:

• Teaching assistant of Basic Linear Algebra, Sep - Dec 2026, IISER Mohali.

• Teaching assistant of Field and Galois Theory, Aug - Dec 2023, IISER Pune. Responsibilities included conducting tutorials, grading assignments and quizzes, assisting the instructor in setting the question paper, and supporting students with their academic progress.

• Teaching assistant of Group Theory, Jan - May 2023, IISER Pune.

• Teaching assistant of Introduction to Computing, Nov 2022 - Feb 2023, IISER Pune.

Students' Seminars:

• Sept 2026: Delivering a series of weekly lectures on ‘Arithmetic’ to Ph.D. students at IISER Mohali.

• Mar-Dec 2025: Founding co-organiser, Student Seminar Series, Department of Mathematics, IISER Pune: A student-led platform for sharing ideas among students, postdocs, and early-career researchers.

• Aug-Dec 2023: Delivered a series of weekly lectures on ‘Arithmetic’ to M.Sc. and Ph.D. students at IISER Pune, with the goal of introducing the beauty of the p-adic world and proving the Hasse-Minkowski theorem, the local-global principle for quadratic forms. Here is the lecture notes. (I extend my gratitude to Mridul Biswas and Dhrubajyoti Das for delivering two lectures in my absence.)

• June 2022: Delivered a series of lectures on Infinite Galois Theory to PhD first-year and M.Sc final-year students, introducing concepts such as inverse limits, Krull topology, and culminating in the fundamental theorem of infinite Galois theory.

Mentoring: 

I enjoy mentoring students and helping them develop their interest in mathematics, particularly in algebra, number theory and arithmetic geometry.

• Twoples Mentor, Fall 2026: I am a volunteer mentor for the Twoples program, where I mentor an undergraduate student in mathematics. Through regular meetings, we discuss mathematical topics beyond the usual undergraduate curriculum and explore how mathematics is studied at the graduate and research levels.
