Homepage of Keshab Chandra Bakshi
Welcome to my homepage! I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at IIT Kanpur. Prior to this, I was a DST INSPIRE Faculty in the mathematics department at the Chennai Mathematical Institute .
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.
