I have been a Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST, Shibpur), INDIA since 2003. In 2021, I was placed in the Higher Administrative Grade cadre (Senior Professor Cadre).
My academic foundations were laid at the University of Calcutta, where I earned both my Master of Science and Ph.D. degrees in Applied Mathematics. During my time there, I had the unique opportunity to associate with the former students of Professor S.N. Bose—the visionary behind Bose-Einstein Statistics and the namesake of the "Boson” particle. I respectfully remember the names of Professor M.R. Gupta and Professor J.N. Das (later my Ph.D. Supervisor) from whom I learnt Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory. My undergraduate education was completed at the historic Presidency College in Kolkata, INDIA, now Presidency University. It was during this formative period that I encountered Professor A.K. Raychaudhuri, the eminent physicist whose Raychaudhuri Equation remains a cornerstone of General Relativity and Cosmology.
Linguistically, I am rooted in the rich heritage of my mother tongue, Bengali, while utilizing English as my primary medium for professional communication and global research. I am also proficient in Sanskrit, a language I view as the intimate core of the diverse linguistic landscape of India’s 1.4 billion people. I am an active participant in the movement to proliferate the use of Sanskrit, recognizing its historical and structural importance to the twenty-two officially recognized languages in INDIA. Additionally, I possess understanding, reading and writing knowledge of several other languages including Hindi, the official language of the Government of India, though I am less fluent in the spoken form of these languages.
My primary research interests span certain parts of Pure and Applied Mathematics, Theoretical Physics, and Decision Sciences. In my work within the realm of Physics, I maintain a purely technical focus and have not (yet) aligned myself with any specific prevailing school of thought, preferring to let mathematics guide my findings. My other interests include Economics, Political Science, Biological Sciences, Literature, History and Philosophy. Although I have seldom published formal research in these fields, I find that my greatest intellectual pleasure is derived more from the act of learning and synthesis than from the pursuit of research alone.
The following are two research groups which I lead:
I have supervised twenty-five Ph.D. Students on various topics. Also here are the Ph.D. Scholars presently being supervised.
