Research interests
My research interests lie in classical and quantum integrable systems and related areas in mathematical physics. My current research is on the Painleve equations and uses tools from integrability and combinatorics. I’m also interested in quasi-exactly solvable systems, exactly solvable models and PT-symmetric quantum mechanics.
I believe in inspiring others to see the beauty and application of Mathematics. I am a STEM ambassador and Inspiring the Future – Inspiring Women volunteer and have extensive experience of Outreach activities with school students.
