My doctoral research  was focussed on Revival of Russell’s Logicist Program in securing a foundation of mathematics.

I have defended my Ph.D thesis entitled ‘Revisiting Russell’s Logicist Program in Providing a Foundation of Mathematics' in September, 2018.

I have defended my M.Phil dissertation on ‘Significance of Russell’s Theory of Incomplete Symbols in His Philosophy of Mathematics’ in 2009.

Before joining Presidency University, I have been teaching philosophy at Ramakrishna Mission Residential College (Autonomous) where i was a member of various academic and administrative committees.

My area of specialization is Logic and Scientific Methods, Philosophy of Language, and Philosophy of Mathematics ( especially, Logicist School), and Philosophy of Bertrand Russell.
