About Me: I am an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computing at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, India, since August 2025. Prior to this position, I was a Fulbright-Nehru Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Mathematics, University of Virginia, USA. I received my Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, Assam, India.

Research Interest: My research interests lie primarily at the interface of Number Theory and Combinatorics. In particular, Partition Theory, q-series and Modular Forms, as well as applications of these topics to other areas of mathematics.
