About me

I am currently working as an Associate Professor at the Theoretical Statistics and Mathematics Unit of the Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi Centre.

Prior to that I have held the following positions

Assistant Professor at the Theoretical Statistics and Mathematics Unit at the Iindian Statistical Institute, Delhi Centre (April, 2012 to March, 2018)
Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Delhi (November, 2009 to April, 2012)
Visiting Scientist, Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi Centre (July, 2008 - November, 2009)

I completed my Ph.D. from the Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi in 2008. I did my post graduation in Mathematics in 2004, also from Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi and my graduation with honours in Mathematics in 2002 from University of Delhi.

My research interests:

Current research interests include various topics in Matrix Analysis – study of positive definite matrices in the context of Riemannian geometry, quantum information, statistics and symplectic geometry, spectral properties of special matrices, matrix inequalities and perturbation bounds.
My doctoral research was in the area of Topology that included the study of various hyperspace topologies on the spaces of set-valued maps.

The details of my talks from the last few years can be found here.

A detailed list of my publications can be read here.

The details of the awards and honors to my credit since the beginning of my post graduation in 2004 are mentioned here.

I have been a referee for papers for different international journals and a reviewer for Mathematical Reviews.

I have been the Seminar in-charge of the Stat. Math. Unit, ISI Delhi since June 2016 and have been responsible for the coordination of the weekly seminars in the unit since then.
I also organised the Conference in the honour of Professor Rajendra Bhatia held on May 30 and 31, 2017 at ISI Delhi jointly with Anish Sarkar and Tirthankar Bhattacharyya.
