  • July 2021 till present: Associate Professor, Department of Mathematics, Shiv Nadar University.
  • June 2011 till June 2021: Assistant Professor, Department of Mathematics, Shiv Nadar University.
  • 2004-2011: Senior Lecturer, Mathematical Sciences Foundation, New Delhi.

2013 Gave an invited talk on ?Invariance in Hardy-Hilbert spaces? at the 100th Indian Science Congress in 2012. Adjunct Department:?Institute for Innovations & Inventions with Mathematics and IT (IIIMIT)

My research focuses on areas in Applied Machine Learning which focuses on identifying anomalies in Financial data, Material science data, Medical and Satellite images, and making explainable predictive models. This work involves an interplay of Machine Learning and Complex Networks. Currently I am also involved in modeling Happiness and Loneliness using the above tools.

I also have a keen interest in Harmonic analysis, wherein I have studied invariant subspaces of the Shift operator on certain Banach spaces of analytic functions including the classical Hardy Spaces, the BMOA space, and the Generalized Hardy spaces with rotationally symmetric norms. The techniques developed in this research have allowed to obtain meaningful extensions, of famous theorems of Beurling, Helson-Lowdenslager, and De-Banges with far simpler proofs, and sharper characterizations.

Besides teaching a variety of core and elective courses in Mathematics over the years at SNU, I have also developed and taught 4 machine learning and Artificial intelligence courses. The highlights being Machine learning through R, Deep Learning, Learning from Data, and Bayesian Network Learning. Two of these courses are also cross-linked with Computer Science department. All these courses are offered as University wide electives and attract handsome number of students from engineering and social sciences.
