Dr. Rahul Singh Karki

Dr. Rahul Singh Karki is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics with a distinguished academic background from India’s premier institutions. He earned his B.Sc. (Mathematics Hons.) from Shivaji College, University of Delhi, and his M.Sc. from IIT Kharagpur, securing a CGPA above 9.0 in both degrees. He completed his Ph.D. from IIT Bombay in 2025, supported by prestigious fellowships during his doctoral studies. 

His research focuses on modern algebra and its interdisciplinary connections, particularly in combinatorial and computational directions. As an educator, Dr. Karki is committed to building strong mathematical foundations for students while inspiring them to appreciate the value, structure, and beauty of mathematics. 

Dr. Karki joined UPES as an Assistant Professor in July 2024, shortly after submitting his Ph.D. thesis at IIT Bombay. His academic experience includes teaching, research, and mentoring students in advanced mathematical subjects.
