Hello!

I am a freelance mathematician and consultant with a passion for teaching and helping people discover the deep connections between mathematical concepts and their applications. My work often lies in the areas of matrix algorithms, linear algebra, calculus, optimisation, computer vision, and data science. I enjoy cutting through jargon and explaining ideas from a mathematician’s perspective — showing not just how things work, but why.

Currently, I am a Visiting Faculty at the Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI), where I alternate between teaching courses on Multiple View Geometry and Computer Vision. Beyond academia, I co-run the Math Circle in Chennai in collaboration with the Raising a Mathematician Foundation, creating spaces for young students to explore mathematics in a playful and exploratory way.

Alongside teaching, I take on consulting projects in computer vision, particularly in algorithm design and development. In recent years, I have also begun leading faculty development programs, helping college teachers adapt their teaching for students aspiring to enter the fast-growing fields of data science and AI.

Mathematically, my first love has always been combinatorics and linear algebra, and these remain close to my heart. Later, I grew deeply interested in the calculus of manifolds and algebraic topology. My doctoral research focused on representation theory, quiver representations, and combinatorics, but over time my interests have evolved toward more computational mathematics, including numerical linear algebra, matrix algorithms, computer vision, and scientific computing.

From 2022 to 2024, I served as an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the School of Computing and Data Science, Sai University, Chennai. Before that, I was a lecturer at CMI and one of the faculty advisors for the M.Sc. Data Science programme.

I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics in 2012 from Northeastern University, Boston, under the guidance of Prof. Jerzy Weyman.
