Welcome! I am Amit Kuber, a mathematician working as an Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, IIT Kanpur. During Masters studies at University of Pune and University of Cambridge, I developed interest in combinatorics, category theory and topos theory.  Later I applied some of these techniques to solve some problems on the interface of model theory and K-theory during my PhD at University of Manchester under the supervision of Prof. Mike Prest.

My current research interests lie in the combinatorial aspects of representation theory of finite-dimensional associative algebras, order theory and K-theory of model-theoretic structures. No matter what problem I work on,  as an admirer of symmetry, analogy and generalisation, my intuition leads me to analyzing combinatorial structures while using categorical framework/language. The list of my publications can be found here. I love giving talks and an extensive list of my talks can be found here. 

I enjoy students' company. I have taught variety of courses and supervised a number of projects on variety of topics ranging from Pokémon to K-theory. I believe that the ability to present mathematics (in written and oral) is as important as understanding it and producing new results.

I am NOT accepting any project students in Odd Semester 24-25.

My email id is askuber at iitk dot ac dot in and my institute webpage can be found here.

Announcement: Anyone interested can enrol for my NPTEL course on Category Theory starting in July 2024. 

The works and philosophy of Alexander Grothendieck has always been a guiding light for me.
