Research Interests/Special Interests:
Dr. Das has taught a broad range of courses, from Quantitative Skills and Mathematical Reasoning to graduate-level Topology and Analysis. He has mentored over 25 capstone research projects and has offered numerous independent and special-topic courses.
Dr. Das’s research interests lie in Mathematical Logic and in areas at the intersection of abstract algebra and topology. Most recently, he has served as the Principal Investigator of the federally funded McNair Scholars Program at UNG, which supports low-income and first-generation students preparing for graduate education. He also serves as a coordinator for the Gen I program and is an active mentor to Gen I scholars.
Throughout his career, Dr. Das has been deeply committed to working with students from historically underrepresented and disadvantaged backgrounds, including first-generation, low-income, and rural students. He believes these students bring exceptional motivation and resilience to their studies and is passionate about creating academic pathways that support their success in mathematics and beyond.
