I am a final year PhD student in Pure Mathematics at the University of Glasgow, under the supervision of Joachim Zacharias and Runlian Xia. My research interests are very broadly in operator algebras, dynamical systems, ergodic theory, and my recent work has been focused on noncommutative ergodic theorems and random walks on groups. I am a Maclaurin scholar, which means that a significant part of my time as a PhD student is dedicated to teaching Mathematics at the university, which includes lecturing, tutoring, and drafting and marking exam papers. Before my PhD, I did my BS and MS majoring in Physics from IISER Kolkata.
When I am not doing Mathematics, you are most likely to find me at a Milonga.
I am currently on the job market.
