Research
My research interests broadly lie in Complex Analysis. Currently, I am studying surface braid groups and, more generally, the mapping class group of hyperbolic surfaces with Chitrabhanu Chaudhuri. I am also exploring the complex analytic properties of Teichmüller spaces.
During my postdoctoral stint, I explored proper holomorphic mappings of a certain class of domains in \( \textbf{C}^n\). In a joint project with Jaikrishnan, we studied proper holomorphic mappings in certain special class of domains in several complex variables (SCV).
During my doctoral studies, I studied quadrature domains in higher dimensions and their properties and certain intersting properties of the Green's function on planar domains.
