Welcome to Arnoldism!

Arnoldism is a philosophy of research and teaching inspired by the preeminent Soviet-Russian mathematician V.I. Arnold. In his honor, in 2020, I established a premier international math circle, AMMOC. Currently, AMMOC has cultivated young mathematicians from over 20 countries. Within six years, eight of AMMOC's proteges have received admissions to study undergraduate pure mathematics at Princeton, Caltech, Cambridge, the University of Chicago, the University of Toronto, Columbia, Stanford, UC Berkeley, and KAIST, with combined scholarships worth over 4 million USD.

You can read a very recent news article (in NRI News) about me, my proteges, and AMMOC.

"This therefore, is mathematics: she reminds you of the invisible forms of the soul; she gives life to her own discoveries; she awakens the mind and purifies the intellect; she brings to light our intrinsic ideas; she abolishes oblivion and ignorance which are ours by birth . . .", Proclus (one of the last major classical philosophers of late antiquity )

About Me

I am a mathematician, born in 1993, and the current director of AMMOC, an international program cultivating young mathematicians from six continents and seventeen countries. Broadly, I work in the fields of geometric analysis, calculus of variations, and mathematical physics. In particular, I am interested in scientific works of Russian mathematician Vladimir Igorevich Arnold, and Canadian-American mathematcian, Jerrold E. Marsden. I spent an year and half, during 2016-2018, for studies in advanced pure mathematics at the Chennai Mathematical Institute, one of the foremost institute of fundamental research in India. I have been a visitor [for over five years] at the Harish Chandra Research Institute (one of the Asia's leading centre in mathematics and theoretical physics) for my research. Even prior to that, during the last two years of my UG education, I collaborated with scientists at ETH (Zurich), Aristotle University Thessaloniki, and University of Nottingham and published several joint papers. This led me to become invited 'scientific referee' in some of the widely respected journals; for more detials, please see the section on scientific services).

AMMOC - An International Math Circle.

Cultivating young mathematicians from 6 continents and 20 countries!

Since May 2020, I have been the founding director and instructor at the international program AMMOC that nurtures young mathematicians and scientists for career in mathematics and mathematical sciences. The following proteges (under my academic tutelage) have received full scholarships [as international students to the USA] for studies pure mathematics at

Princeton University [Sarthak Dhobale],
California Institute of Technology [Tisya Rawat]. Caltech houses the NASA's Jet propulsion laboratory.
University of Chicago [Konstantinos Charalampous],
University of Toronto [Adelina],
Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology [Nihad Hashimov].
Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology [Prasanna Mahesh Pawar].
Stanford University, Rama Lakshmi Chunduri (Theoretical CS).
