Doctoral Student in Mathematics at Auburn University

Hello! I am a fourth year Ph.D. student in Mathematics at Auburn University, Alabama, USA, working on Matroid Theory. My Ph.D. supervisor is Dr. Zach Walsh. Previously, I completed my Masters Degree from Tezpur University, India. My Bachelor Degree was from Chennai Mathematical Institute, India, where I completed a dual degree in Mathematics and Computer Science.

My current research interest lies in the structural and extremal problems in Matroid Theory and Graph Theory.

PhD Work

  • (with J. D. Clifton, Z. Walsh) The unbreakable quasi-graphic matroids

    Quasi-graphic matroids generalize both frame and lift matroids, which in turn generalize graphic matroids. This paper gives a complete characterization of the 3-connected unbreakable quasi-graphic matroids. A connected matroid is unbreakable if it remains connected after contracting any flat. The class of quasi-graphic matroids have been structurally studied by Bowler, Funk, Slilaty.
