I am a graduate from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur and a Ph. D. from Jharkhand Rai University, Ranchi, India. I enjoy teaching Operations Research and Applied Mathematics to students at different levels. My main engagement is with Insurance professionals who need to apply data science and related concepts extensively in their area of work.
These subjects can be learnt best when done in intuitive way. I prefer to focus on logic and try to get to the nuances of mathematical concepts.
