Academic Formation

His academic formation spans both the natural sciences and the humanities. He holds a Ph.D. in Decision Sciences (Mathematical Economics) from Banaras Hindu University and a Master’s degree (First Class First, BHU and Wagle Gold Medals) in Mathematical Methods and Econometrics.

His doctoral research (Ph.D., BHU, 1991) examined the intersecting domains of Mathematical Control Systems, the Economics of Information, and Psycho-physiological Behavioural Science, with particular focus on decision-making and organisational structures.

Research Orientation

His research investigates conceptual structures embedded in Vedic knowledge traditions and explores their philosophical significance for contemporary discussions in mathematics, cognition, cosmology, and philosophy of science.

The work frequently combines close textual analysis of Vedic and classical Indian sources with systematic philosophical and analytical reasoning.

A central intellectual framework guiding this research is expressed in the conceptual cycle: svagarbhā · Agni · Ṛta · Bandha · Antarikṣa · Mathematics · AI
