Hello! Welcome to my homepage!

My name is Sachchidanand Prasad, and I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at IIIT Delhi.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS), Bengaluru, in the Department of Mathematics, working with Prof. Rukmini Dey. I then held a joint postdoctoral fellowship as a Dingxin Scholar at the School of Mathematics, Jilin University, China, and the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Göttingen University, Germany, working with Dr. Seongjeong Kim (Jilin University) and Prof. Dr. Thomas Schick (Göttingen University).

I completed my PhD from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Kolkata in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics under the supervision of Dr Somnath Basu. You can find my thesis here.

My primary area of interests are differential geometry, differential topology and algebraic topology. Broadly, I am working on the cut locus of submanifolds and related problems. In addition to my work in geometry and topology, I also have a strong interest in polynomial rings over non-commutative variables. More details about my research can be found here.

I completed my Integrated M.Sc. with Mathematics major from the National Institute of Technology Rourkela, India. My master's thesis was Concept of Differentiation in Banach Spaces under the supervision of Dr Debajyoti Choudhuri.

Other than mathematics, I am interested in coding and playing various sports. I love to play badminton and table tennis, yet a beginner to table tennis. I am a front-end developer by passion. Some of the websites I made are IISERK maths department and curry leaf days.
