Education
- I completed my integrated Bachelor of Science-Master of Science (BS-MS dual degree) at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Thiruvananthapuram (2010-2015). My major was Mathematics, with physics as my minor. 📚
- During this time, I also had the privilege of sharing knowledge as a guest lecturer at Bishop Chulaparambil Memorial (BCM) College for Women in Kottayam. Teaching and inspiring young minds—what a rewarding experience! 🌱
- My intellectual pursuits reached their zenith when I embarked on a captivating PhD journey. In 2016, I joined the IITB-Monash Research Academy, and after years of dedication and exploration, I defended my dissertation on 18 June 2021. 🎓
Postdoctoral Adventures
- The postdoctoral phase beckoned, and I eagerly answered the call. From July to December 2021, I donned the hat of an institute postdoctoral research fellow at the illustrious Department of Mathematics, IIT Bombay. The thrill of discovery and collaboration fueled my days! 🔬
- But wait, there’s more! In the picturesque city of Milan, I continued my academic escapades. Under the guidance of Prof. Andreas Veeser, I delved into fascinating research from January 2022 to February 2023. The cobbled streets of Milan echoed with mathematical musings! 🌆
Present and Beyond
- Fast forward to the present—I now proudly serve as an Assistant Professor (Grade II) at the vibrant IIT Palakkad. Since 1 March 2023, I’ve been nurturing young minds, igniting curiosity, and fostering a love for mathematics. 🌈
Remember, every equation you solve, every theorem you prove, and every student you inspire adds a splash of color to the canvas of academia. Keep shining, keep exploring, and keep spreading the joy of mathematics! 🌟📊✨

There are two PhD students in the group now.
Gokul SanthoshI am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Finite Element Methods for Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) under the guidance of Dr. Gopikrishnan Chirappurathu Remesan in the Department of Mathematics at IIT Palakkad. Prior to this, I completed my B.Sc. degree in 2021 from CMS College, Kottayam, Kerala, and my M.Sc. in 2023 from IIT Palakkad. On April 17, 2023, I transitioned to the M.Sc.-Ph.D. dual degree program. Additionally, I participated in an NCM Workshop on Finite Element Methods at IISER Thiruvananthapuram. My research interests primarily lie in numerical analysis and PDEs.”Alphonsa GeorgeCurrently, I am immersed in the pursuit of my Ph.D. in Numerical Analysis, guided by Dr. Gopikrishnan Chirappurathu Remesan within the Department of Mathematics at IIT Palakkad. My academic voyage commenced with the completion of my M.Sc. at Sacred Heart College, Thevara, Kerala, following my B.Sc. degree at BCM College, Kottayam. Throughout my educational journey, I actively engaged in enriching workshops such as MTTS and YTN, nurturing a passion for scholarly exploration. My research endeavors are deeply rooted in the realms of Finite Element Methods, Partial Differential Equations, and the broader domain of Numerical Analysis.” -
