Welcome to the homepage of Abhishek Banerjee

        If I could make one wish, I would wish for many, many more stars! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I am a graduate student in the Department of Mathematics. My advisor is Professor Caterina Consani. Her webpage can be found here. My research interests lie in Cyclic Homology and Algebraic Geometry. Besides, I take a keen interest in model categories and related axiomatic approaches to K theory via algebraic topology. Before I came to Johns Hopkins University, I used to be an undergraduate student at Indian Statistical Institute, Calcutta. My life is getting more and more interesting even as we speak (or write), but for the moment, you can learn something about me by reading my CV here. 

The annual Noncommutative Geometry conference starts at Vanderbilt in a couple of weeks. I will give a talk entitled "Periodicity in Cyclic Cohomology and the Monodromy Operator" at the Noncommutative Geometry Workshop in Vanderbilt in May. The slides for the talk will be available here. After that I am off to MPI-Bonn for the Trimester Programme in "Geometry and Physics".
