I am a fourth year graduate student studying commutative algebra at the University of Utah. My advisor is Anurag Singh . I like to think about Local cohomology modules and rings of invariants under group actions on polynomial rings. I have used these techniques to determine the cohomological dimension of ideals defining Veronese subrings in arbitrary characteristic. Currently, I am working on applying these techniques to better understand the structure of the classical determinental rings as subrings of polynomial rings.
From 2011-2016, I did my undergrad at the National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER), Bhubaneswar in India with an Integrated M.Sc (MS equivalent) in Mathematics.
In Fall 2020, I am teaching Math 2200-001 Discrete Mathematics.

Service
I organized 'BIKES' - the commutative algebra student seminar at the University of Utah in Fall 2019 and Spring 2020. Here is the link of the current "BIKES" page.
I mentored for the 'Summer High School Mathematics Program' held at the University of Utah in Summer 2019. The aim was to introduce Number Theory to some bright high school kids.
