2012 - 2015
Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore Centre
Bachelor of Mathematics (Honours)
After high school, I joined ISI Bangalore Centre for B.Math. It was a three-year degree consisting of mostly Mathematical courses, with a few Statistics and Physics courses sprinkled in. During this period, I worked on several summer projects in number theory, algebra, and set theory.

2015 - 2021
Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai
Integrated Ph.D. in Mathematics
Thesis Advisor: Prof. Amalendu Krishna
After completing B.Math, I joined TIFR Mumbai for an Integrated Ph.D. Under the supervision of Prof. Amalendu Krishna, I worked on algebraic geometry, more specifically Bertini-type problems and class field theory for varieties over finite fields. I defended my thesis titled Bertini theorems, class field theory and Roitman torsion for open varieties in September 2021, for which I received the Harish Chandra Memorial Commendation - Best Thesis in Mathematics (2022) from TIFR.
Nov 2021 - Aug 2023
Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Mohali
Institute Postdoctoral Fellow
Mentor: Prof. Kapil Hari Paranjape
After my Ph.D., I joined IISER Mohali as a postdoctoral fellow. I conducted independent research and served as a teaching associate for several undergraduate courses as part of my duties. I got interested in and studied homotopy type theory during my stay here. I also studied some parts of Jacob Lurie's thesis in an effort to learn derived algebraic geometry.
