Shashika Petta Mestrige

Shashika Petta Mestrige is an Assistant Professor at Vermont State University. He received his PhD from Louisiana State University in Fall 2021. His research focuses on the divisibility properties of partition functions using modular forms and l-adic module structures.

Research Interests:

• Number Theory
• Modular Forms
• Algebraic Combinatorics
• Computational Mathematics

Publications: Shashika has published three papers exploring congruences in eta quotients and their applications to combinatorics, with a focus on primes like 5, 7, 11, 13, and 17. His work extends foundational theories in partition functions.
