Dr. S. Pradeep

I am a mathematician with a keen interest in the structures of dynamical systems and the emergence of intelligence. My primary affiliation is with the Machine Intelligence Lab, Department of CSE, IIT Roorkee, where I serve as a Post-Doctoral Researcher & Principal Investigator, specializing in symbolic systems and machine learning. My research on geometric deep learning is supported by the National Post-Doctoral Fellowship (N-PDF) from Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), under the mentorship of Prof. R. Balasubramanian. In a prior life, I was a researcher at IIT Delhi, working under the mentorship of Prof. A. Nagar on dynamical systems & Riemannian geometry. My work there earned me the prestigious SPM fellowship from the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), an accolade given to up to two national toppers annually. I hold a doctorate and master's degree in mathematics from IIT Delhi and a bachelor's degree in data science from IIT Madras, all of which were funded by merit-based scholarships. I feel incredibly fortunate to have received these opportunities and remain deeply committed to contributing to these institutions. Beyond academics, I am proficient in mathematical problem-solving and financial analysis. I am ambidextrous, capable of touch typing and writing with both hands, as well as playing sports with both feet, which enhances my adaptability in various tasks. Outside of my professional interests, I enjoy bicycling, literature, and soccer.
