My goal in life is to become an eminent Researcher and Teacher. I am a Mathematician interested in mathematics and theoretical computer science namely computing and complexity theory. I teach Algebra, Linear Algebra, Analysis, Differential Equations, Numerical Analysis, Algorithms, Logic, and Applied Statistics.
In most sciences one generation tears down what another has built, and what one has established another undoes. In mathematics alone, each generation adds a new story to the old structure.
- Hermann Hankel
- German Mathematician (1838-1873)
Research Mission: In line with Hankel's above proposition, I strongly believe that the future of mathematics will be influenced by the concepts and issues arising in computer science. A strong mathematical orientation is necessary to solve the key challenges in computer sciences. Am more interested in developing theories around issues arising in computer sciences.
Our research group explores discoveries around Artin's primitive root conjecture and also on designing-analyzing algorithms for some complex problems like shock capturing or boundary layer problems. Further, we also take up big data problems on some real-life challenges by designing scalable algorithms for the same. I hope this gives a broad overview of my research interest. Please visit our lab for further information.
Teaching Mission: Teaching is a very interesting and challenging job to do. It's interesting because we get to understand how our ideas are being perceived by the students. Given the mass and diversity of the students in the class, it is a challenge to be an effective communicator. My idea on Pedagogy is that teacher should aim to bring the learning process into the student's life. I spend a good amount of my time devising an effective teaching methodology. I have the following two propositions on teaching,
- If x knows how he/she is perceived by the crowd then x is a good teacher
- A good teacher has to be a good researcher.
Am intentionally not quantifying the word good here and the converse of these statements. I leave it to people to perceive as they wish. :-). Please do visit our pedagogical initiative nurture for further information.
Am currently working as an assistant professor in the School of Mathematics and Computer Sciences, Central University of Tamil Nadu. Prior to this role, I worked as a research analyst for General Electric Global Research for about five years.
My areas of Interest are:
- Algorithms & Complexity theory
- Number Theory and hence Algebra
- Big Data Analytics
- Pedagogy
- Identifying emerging technologies

I hide myself intentionally from online media technologies to involve myself in a few other interesting hobbies. However, I reply to the post within a week on online media. :-)
