Welcome to My Homepage!
I am Sagar Sawant, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Chennai Mathematical Institute, India. I recently completed my PhD in Mathematics at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, under the guidance of Dr. Narayanan N. My doctoral thesis focused on distinguishing graphs through their symmetric and quasisymmetric functions.
My broad areas of interest include algebraic combinatorics, topological combinatorics, and graph algorithms. Currently, I am working on hyperplane arrangements (geometric combinatorics) and mixing time of random processes (probability theory). Additionally, I am exploring topics in mathematical finance and machine learning.
