About me

---

I am part of the Logic group at UIUC, and my advisor is Lou van den Dries.
My research interests lie primarily in model theory and its applications.

Before coming over to Illinois in 2015, I received my undergraduate education at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur .

Research

---

I am focusing on exploring certain consequences of the Pila-Wilkie theorem and its generalizations.

More precisely, my work is centered around investigating applications of the Pila-Zannier strategy. In the past decade or so, this strategy has been employed to attack several problems in diophantine geometry, not least the André-Oort Conjecture.

Preprints
