He received his MSc degree in Mathematics from IIT Madras, and BSc degree in Mathematics from Madras University. He has held several important administrative positions, such as senior professor and head of the Department of Mathematics at IIT Madras; founder and head of the Department of Mathematics at the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IIT Hyderabad); Executive Chairman of the Association of Mathematics Teachers of India(AMTI); president of the Forum for Interdisciplinary Mathematics (FIM).Before joinining IIT Madras he served as a faculty member at Loyola College, Madras University, and Hyderabad Central University. His areas of interest include classical analysis, nonlinear analysis and fixed-point theory,fuzzy- set theory, functional equations and mathematics education. He has published over 70 papers and served on the editorial board of the Journal of Analysis and the Journal of Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems. He received an award for his outstanding contributions to mathematical sciences in 2004 and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the FIM in 2016. He has given various invited talks at international conferences and completed brief visiting assignments in many countries such as Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Japan, Slovak Republic and the USA.

Rezensionen

"The chapters are relatively independent. For this reason, this would be a nice book to hand to an advanced undergraduate or a beginning graduate student to supplement coursework or to find a topic for a project. ... Overall, the author succeeds in providing an intriguing collection of theorems beyond those widely known from basic study." (Michele Intermont, MAA Reviews, September 15, 2019)
"This monograph is written by a well-known expert in fixed point theory and presents his choice of results from this wide area of research. ... The monograph can serve as a very useful introduction into the fixed point topic, which is one of the most applicable parts, both of Topology and Nonlinear Analysis." (Zoran Kadelburg, zbMath 1412.54001, 2019)
