Abhijit Pal

Abhijit Pal is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. He holds a PhD from the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata (2011), an M.Sc in Pure Mathematics from Calcutta University (2004), and a B.Sc with Mathematics Honours from Calcutta University (2002). His office is located at FB-575, IIT Kanpur.

His research focuses on Geometric Group Theory, with specific interests in Relatively Hyperbolic Groups and Mapping Class Groups. His work bridges geometric topology and algebraic structures, exploring hyperbolic extensions and boundary mappings.

Recent publications (2010–2013) center on Cannon-Thurston maps, Teichmüller quasigeodesics, and relative hyperbolicity, contributing to advancements in low-dimensional topology and group dynamics.
