Pranav Haridas

I am an Assistant Professor at the Kerala School of Mathematics, specializing in Complex Analysis. My primary research interests encompass surface braid groups, mapping class groups of hyperbolic surfaces, and Teichmüller spaces. I am also keenly interested in the study of proper holomorphic maps in Several Complex Variables.

About Me

My academic journey has led me to the fascinating field of Complex Analysis. At the Kerala School of Mathematics, I engage deeply with the intricate structures of surface braid groups and the broader mapping class groups of hyperbolic surfaces, often collaborating with Chitrabhanu Chaudhuri. I am also captivated by the complex analytic properties inherent in Teichmüller spaces.

My postdoctoral research was dedicated to proper holomorphic mappings in certain classes of domains within \( \mathbf{C}^n \). A notable joint project with Jaikrishnan, we studied these mappings in specific domains in Several Complex Variables (SCV). My doctoral studies, on the other hand, explored quadrature domains in higher dimensions and the intriguing properties of the Green's function on planar domains.
