Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

Amongst the few awards which I have won, the one I treasure the most is being selected as a young researcher to attend the Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) in 2016. For any researcher, foreseeing a career in Mathematics or Computer Science, being selected to attend the HLF is dream come true; where one gets to meet the stalwarts in the respective fields. It was truly the most encouraging and prized experience for me; indeed something to cherish throughout my life.

In 2015, I was also awarded the second best PhD thesis award and prize money amounting INR 50,000 at the IDRBT Doctoral Colloquium. The colloquium was organized by Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT) in collaboration with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The work presented in the thesis entitled "Analysis of Delay in Wireless Communications for Healthcare Systems" was praised widely by the panel of juries.

I was also selected for the National Merit Scholarship by the Government of India for achieving a state rank of 37 (out of 751,459 candidates) in Secondary board examination.
