Biography

Ghajendran is a passionate mathematician with about six years of experience in teaching and researching. He consistently strives to present Mathematics in a fun and engaging way to battle against the stigma that Mathematics is a feared-upon subject. Having Pure Mathematics as his field of specialty, his research works are often motivated more by the beauty of Mathematics, rather than the application of it. On a casual note, he enjoys gardening and weighlifting. 

Research Interests

  • Combinatorics
  • Natural Computing
  • Digital Learning
