SANTU BERA

Welcome to my homepage :)

Currently, I am a FARE Fellow (Research Associate) in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at IIT Kanpur. I completed my PhD in August 2025 under the supervision of Prof. Sameer Chavan.

Research Interests

Functional Analysis and Operator Theory.

More precisely, I work on reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, Dirichlet-type spaces, m-isometric operators, completely hyperexpansive operators, Gleason problem, and proper holomorphic maps.
