PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
I recently got elected as a member of the Indian National Young Academy of Sciences (INYAS) for a period of five years (2021-2025).
Journals for which I am an editor:
- Integral Transforms and Special Functions (since July 2023)
- Ramanujan Journal (since January 2022)
- Journal of the Ramanujan Mathematical Society (since March 2017)
- Mathematics Student (since January 2015)
- Hardy-Ramanujan Journal (Guest Editor for volumes 43-44 dedicated to the memory of Srinivasa Ramanujan)
I am co-organizing the Special Functions and Number Theory seminar with Gaurav Bhatnagar (JNU & Ashoka Univ.) and Krishnan Rajkumar (JNU).
RESEARCH INTERESTS
Analytic Number Theory, Special Functions, Theory of Partitions, q-series and Modular Forms fascinate me. Over the years, my research has been diversified as a result of working on problems on reciprocal and self-reciprocal functions, zeros of certain L-functions in Analytic Number Theory and identities in basic hypergeometric series with applications to the Theory of Partitions.
