Welcome to my homepage! I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at IIT Kanpur.
I have received my PhD. from Institute of Mathematical Sciences (HBNI) under the supervision of Professor V. S. Sunder .
Broadly speaking, I work with topics in C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras. More precisely, my work involves Jones' theory of subfactors and planar algebras.
'I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.'
