Biplab Basak

Biplab Basak is a Research Fellow (SERB Indo-US Postdoctoral Fellow) and Visiting Scholar affiliated with the College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Mathematics. His work explores combinatorial and topological structures in geometric contexts.

Research Focus: Dr. Basak investigates the interplay between topology, combinatorics, and geometry, specializing in manifolds and crystallization theory. His research includes:

• Topological invariants (gem-complexity, regular genus)
• Combinatorial representations of manifolds
• Algorithmic approaches to manifold construction
• Minimal triangulations of 3- and 4-dimensional spaces

Awards:

• SERB Indo-US Postdoctoral Fellowship

Publications: His recent articles (2014–2017) cluster in combinatorial topology, emphasizing crystallizations, manifold classification, and graph-theoretic methods. Recurring themes include low-dimensional topology, algorithmic solutions, and complexity bounds.
