Krishnendu Khan’s research interest lies in rigidity aspects of operator algebras, ergodic theory, geometric group theory and connections therein. He is mainly interested in computations of von Neuman algebraic invariants arising from negatively curved groups using deformation/rigidity techniques combined with geometric group theoretic methods.

Shalin Parekh studies probability theory. His research focus is on scaling limits: random processes arising as macroscopic limits of microscopic systems. For a simple example, one may think of Brownian motion arising as a scaling limit from discrete random walks. Currently, he is thinking about unusual scaling limits arising from interacting particle systems and random […]

Evan Miller works on nonlinear partial differential equations in fluid mechanics, primarily the incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. His research focuses on understanding the role of geometric structures from turbulent flow in the finite-time blowup problem for the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations and related models.

Ravki’s research broadly lies in algebraic number theory, arithmetic geometry and algebraic geometry, from both theoretical and computational perspectives. Her recent work involves studying Galois representations associated to elliptic curves and exploring their relationship to isogenies of elliptic curves.
