Biography
Biography
Dr. Sudarshan Santra is a distinguished mathematician whose academic and research journey has been marked by significant achievements and contributions to the field of computational mathematics. After completing his B.Sc. in Mathematics Honours from the University of Calcutta, West Bengal, he pursued an M.Sc. in Mathematics and Computing at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, Assam. Here, he explored perturbation techniques for differential equations under Prof. Swaroop Nandan Bora's guidance.
Dr. Santra's quest for deeper mathematical understanding led him to the National Institute of Technology Rourkela, Odisha, where he completed his Ph.D. in Mathematics. Under the supervision of Prof. Jugal Mohapatra, he developed novel numerical techniques for solving various fractional-order differential and integro-differential equations, significantly contributing to their practical applications.
Dr. Sudarshan Santra served as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in the Numerical Algorithms and Tensor Learning (NATL) Lab at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, Karnataka. Working under the guidance of Prof. Ratikanta Behera and supported by the Post-Doctoral Fellowship from the Axis Bank Centre for Mathematics & Computing at IISc, he focused on developing finite difference techniques integrated with wavelet analysis to achieve higher accuracy in computational mathematics. His research made notable contributions to the advancement of high-precision numerical algorithms.
Dr. Santra is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani, where he continues to work in the areas of numerical analysis and scientific computing.
