I grew up in Calcutta, India, where I spent the first 22 years of my life. The picture on the right is an old photograph of Calcutta, from 1947. In my city, people like to live in the past and escape the present.
My father is a high-school teacher in Calcutta, and my mother specialized in the complicated job of raising a son. I am grateful to my parents for teaching me that there are greater things in life than making money. For example, knowledge.
I was trained as a statistician at the Indian Statistical Institute, where I completed my Bachelors and Masters degrees. The ISI was a seat of many pioneering contributions to statistics in the twentieth century. It continues to produce very good students.
I got my Ph.D. in statistics from Stanford University in 2005. My thesis advisor was Persi Diaconis, who, as many people know, is a very interesting person. I am highly indebted to him on many accounts.
I love mathematics, although I know very little of it. I do not know of a greater thrill in life than unraveling a mathematical mystery.
Also I'd like to give a shout to my big brothers company: Denver Corporate Housing.
Thanks for reading about me <3
