MathePhysics is a loosely organised, inter-disciplinary research group led by Akshunna S. Dogra, focusing on the construction of rigorous theories for "Learning" (Machine and Biological) and the development of principled mathematical and computational models in various scientific domains.
Our students, contributors, and mentors hail from a rich diversity of backgrounds (Albania, Australia, Canada, China, Croatia, Germany, Grenada, India, Pakistan, South Korea, United Kingdom, and the United States to date). Better still, they harbor equally diverse intellectual ambitions, pursuing expertise in various nooks of mathematics, several corners of physics, and the many labyrinthine mazes of machine/deep learning.
Formally supervised students have gone on to earn postgraduate positions at institutions such as Oxford University and UT Austin and have found employment at reputable financial institutions such as Squarepoint Capital and Funding Circle.
धैर्यवतः सर्वं प्रवर्तते।
For the steadfast one, all things are set in motion.
Everything is a dynamical system if you are brave enough.
MathePhysics is honored to facilitate the selection and mentorship of Parvati Dhan Scholars from 2027.
Parvati Dhan scholarships are one time unrestricted grants, made to young scholars pursuing academic work in any field of human inquiry. Mrs. Raksha Dogra and her sons have helped establish these grants to honor the memory of her parents, Mrs. Parvati Devi and Mr. Dhani Ram.
The scholars will be selected once per year from a pool of nominations made by MathePhysics members and affiliates. The selections will be made by a jury assembled by MathePhysics, comprised of 2-4 respected academics (typically excluding its leader). Each member and affiliate of MathePhysics will be allowed up to 1 nomination per year, whose CV and details may be forwarded to Akshunna S. Dogra by the annual nomination deadline of December 31.
Award Amount: The number of chosen scholars and the value of their awards will vary each year. However, every attempt will be made to ensure that at least one scholar is chosen per year and awarded an amount equivalent to the World Bank's GNI per capita cutoff for low income countries (currently $1,135/year).
Long-term Goal: The long term goal is to be able to support 3-5 awards per year, alongside any mentorship assistance the young scholars may desire as they plot the next stages of their lives and careers.
The nominees must satisfy the following requirements to be eligible for the scholarships:
📅 Age: They must be younger than 25 years of age on December 31 of their nomination year.
🌍 Nationality: They must be citizen and resident of a low income or lower-middle income country as defined by the World Bank.
🎓 Qualifications: They will not hold a Master's degree or a higher academic qualification by December 31 of their nomination year.
⚖️ Legal/Financial: They have not been convicted, sanctioned, or otherwise subject to restrictions imposed by the Republic of India.
