About Me

Hello! Welcome to my homepage!

My name is Sachchidanand Prasad and currently, I am a joint postdoctoral fellow at the School of Mathematics, Jilin University, China and Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Göttingen University, Germany working with Dr Seongjeong Kim (Jilin University).

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 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.

My updated CV can be found here (last updated 15 March 2024).

This semester I am taking a course on Introduction to Symplectic Geometry.

Check out the course page.

In addition to my research, I enjoy sharing my passion for mathematics by providing daily problems under the Miscellaneous section of my website. These problems cover a range of topics and difficulty levels, and I encourage visitors to try solving them and share their solutions with me.
