Sourav Bhattacharya is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur, where he teaches and conducts research in topology, dynamical systems, and ergodic theory. His academic journey began in Agartala, Tripura, where he was born on March 21, 1992. He completed his Higher Secondary Examination in 2010, followed by a B.Sc. in Mathematics from the University of Calcutta in 2013 and an M.Sc. in Mathematics from the same institution in 2015. Bhattacharya earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2021. His doctoral dissertation, titled "Topics in Low Dimensional Dynamical Systems: Interval Rotation Numbers and Laminations," was supervised by Professor Alexander Blokh. Following his Ph.D., he served as a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Florida.

Bhattacharya's research centers on low-dimensional dynamical systems, particularly interval maps, rotation theory, laminations, triod patterns, unfolding numbers, and forcing relations. His contributions explore concepts such as triod twist cycles, minimal patterns of triods, and unfolding properties of interval maps, advancing the field through rigorous topological and ergodic analysis. Key publications include "Forcing minimal patterns of triods" in Topology and its Applications (2024), "Unfolding numbers for interval maps" in the Journal of Difference Equations and Applications (2025), "Triod twist cycles and circle rotations" (arXiv preprint, 2025), and "Forcing among exact patterns of triods" (arXiv preprint, 2024). He has presented his work at prominent events, including the American Mathematical Society Fall Eastern Virtual Sectional Meeting (2025) and the Spring Topology and Dynamics Conference (2024). Bhattacharya's publications and presentations reflect his ongoing impact in one-dimensional dynamics and related areas.
