Student of Gandhian philosophy
Fond of traveling and literature (English, Hindi)
Have helped organise numerous important international conferences
Have reviewed/refereed papers for several publications in India and abroad including the
Mathematical Reviews.
Served/serve on several Committees of institutions such as UGC, Govt. of India, various
Universities.
Research Interests
Functional Analysis and Harmonic Analysis especially where Operator Theory, Function
Theory and real variable methods on the disk interact closely. This research centres around
the study of properties of such spaces as De Branges Spaces, BMOA, Hardy Spaces and the
operators and functions defined on them.
Published numerous research papers in major international journals many of which have
been cited in books and papers.
Successfully guided two doctoral students whose work has been well received. Currently
guiding one doctoral student. Their work has been connected with some aspects of De
Branges Spaces and Invariant Subspaces. Successfully guided nine students for their M.Phil.
dissertations.
Also published papers on topics in elementary mathematics where new ingenious proofs of
well known classical results are presented.
