About

I am currently serving as an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at GFGC Shikaripura (Kuvempu University) under the Department of Collegiate Education, Government of Karnataka. My research lies at the intersection of geometry and physics, with a primary focus on Differential Geometry and its applications in General Relativity and Cosmology. I explore the fundamental geometric structures that describe our universe, ranging from the local curvature of spacetime to the large-scale dynamics of cosmological models.

I have been pursuing research in Cosmology, particularly on topics such as Dark Matter, Dark Energy, Cosmic Acceleration, and cosmological tensions. I employ Bayesian data analysis of cosmological models using observational data, with MCMC algorithms implemented in CLASS. My broader goal is to contribute to our understanding of gravity and the cosmos through rigorous mathematical investigation.
