Hello, and welcome!
I’m a Ph.D. Student in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Kentucky, where I also work as a teaching assistant.
I completed my B.Sc. (Honors) in Mathematics at M.D. University in India and earned my M.Sc. in Mathematics at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay.
My research is in algebraic topology, particularly motivic homotopy theory, where I use ideas from homotopy theory to study objects in algebraic geometry. Much of my current work involves studying geometric classifying spaces through their motivic invariants, using spectral sequences as a main tool. Recently, I’ve also become interested in using computer-assisted methods to compute higher motivic stable stems.
I also plan to explore similar questions in equivariant homotopy theory.
