Research Interests

I learnt Descriptive Set Theory and Recursion Theory from Professor A. Maitra under whom I wrote my thesis entitled Studies in Set Theoretic Hierarchies: from Borel Sets to R-sets. A.Maitra also induced me to learn Automata Theory. I then worked in Cellular Automata and their applications. Currently my interests are in Cryptography, DNA Computing and Simple Voting Games .
