About me

I am a post-doctoral researcher in the Algèbre et Géométrie group at École Normale Supérieure, Paris and my mentor is Cyril Houdayer. In September 2024, I obtained a PhD in Mathematics from KU Leuven, Belgium and my supervisor was Stefaan Vaes.

My research interests revolve mainly around operator algebras and ergodic theory. During my PhD, I worked mostly on the connections between measured groupoids and von Neumann algebras. I completed my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Mathematics from Chennai Mathematical Institute, India. 

I am originally from Kolkata, India. My mother tongue is Bengali (বাংলা) and my name in Bengali is written as সোহম চক্রবর্তী. I am a co-organiser for the Online seminar: Indians in Operator Algebras. Please write to me if you want to be part of the mailing list and/or give a talk. 

I will be teaching the course Analytic Group Theory at the ENS in Spring 2026. I will also be co-organising the workshop on Matricial Approximations which will be a part of the Trimester on Operator Algebras: Approximations, Rigidity and Dynamics at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris from September to December 2026.
