I was born and raised in Fatehpur, a district in India located between Kanpur and Allahabad (now Prayagraj).
I completed my higher secondary education at Maharishi Vidya Mandir Sr. Sec. School in Fatehpur, graduating in 2015 after eight years of study there. I then pursued a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Physics at Ewing Christian College, affiliated with the University of Allahabad, graduating in May 2018. In September 2021, I earned my Master’s degree in Mathematics with Data Science from the Institute of Mathematics and Applications, affiliated with Utkal University.
In my spare time, I enjoy photography. You can view my shots here. Most of them were taken using my phone and my camera.
I serve on the organizing committee of the Peer Mentoring Initiative (PMI) a program where experienced graduate students help new students feel at home in the department. We support incoming graduate students in ways the department or administration may not always be able to—whether through tier exam preparation, housing guides, or practical tips for navigating graduate school life. I'm also a member of the advisory committee of the Mathematics Graduate Student Association at Indiana University Bloomington.
Last year, I co-organized the 22nd Graduate Student Topology and Geometry Conference 2025 at Indiana University Bloomington, which took place from April 11-13, 2025.
My CV, up to date as of January 2026, is available here.

I would be happy to go by Himalaya, that's what my family calls me. You can call me that too.
I am studying low-dimensional topology and hyperbolic geometry, focusing on Floer homology invariants of links, 3- and 4-manifolds, and hyperbolic knot theory. I am being advised by Dylan Thurston.
In my master thesis, I worked with Manas R. Mohapatra on the characterizations of hyperbolic Lambert and Saccheri quadrilaterals in the Poincaré disk. We derived a new hyperbolic area formula using Heron's and Bretschneider's formulas and established sharp bounds for their area. We also extended these results to include adjacent side lengths, diagonals, and geometric properties of the hyperbolic Lambert kite, exploring its connections to hyperbolic tiling inspired by M.C. Escher's “Circle Limit” diagrams.
