Education and Training

  • Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics - SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Kattankulathur, Tamil Nadu, India (2022)
  • M.S. in Mathematics - Visva Bharati Central University, West Bengal, India (2015)
  • B.S. in Mathematics - Visva Bharati Central University, West Bengal, India (2013)

I was a Policy Research Fellow at IISc Bangalore, where I engaged myself in Centre-State and Inter-ministerial coordination for the purpose of strengthening the Centre-state and Inter-ministerial partnerships and collaboration in Science Technology Innovation (STI) related areas. In addition, I am a former member of the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS), Frontier and Futuristic Technologies (FFT) Division, DST, Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India, New Delhi, India.  

I was appointed as a Senior Scientist to a project funded by the University of Klagenfurt (Alpen Adria-Universitat), Austria, where I worked on sparsity promoting variational regularization for linear inverse problems. I was a visiting researcher at the Jacobs University of Bremen, Germany, where I worked on complex dynamical systems.

Research Bio

I am interested in mathematical modeling in the areas of Immunology (TB), Ecology (prey-predator system), and Epidemiology. Currently, I am my research is focused on developing mathematical models of the within-host dynamics of pathogens, such as TB, and investigating the dynamics of the immune response to pathogens. A strong connection between mathematical models and data is at the core of my research. Model construction is typically driven by the quality and type of data available to parameterize these models. Some of the main aspects of my work are to fit models to data, formulate alternative models, and determine which model best fits the available data. Investigation of T-cell dynamics is another focus of my research. I have fully indulged myself in contributing to the area of mathematics, continuing my research on mathematical modeling/biology and the policy contours of the industrial sectors that have been envisioned to realize and ensure that scientists and industrialists remain organically connected with society by contributing to the socio-economic growth of the nation and lead company and professional service activities.
