It was a great honor to be given the Applications of Computer Algebra 2022 Conference’s Early Career Researcher Award. I want to thank the deciding committee. This raises my motivation while also puts more responsibility on me to do the best I can in the advancement of mathematics and its interactions with computer algebra. More…

Miklós is a known name for anyone interested in combinatorics. It is either due to his great introductory books that covers the fundamentals in such clear terms or it is due to his phenomenal research. Regardless of how you know the name, the person behind it is just as great.    I had the great…

I had the utmost pleasure of being invited to give some lectures at the Euler Institute’s summer school on Partitions, Mock Theta Functions and q-series. I want to thank the main organizer Eric Mortenson once again here for inviting me to this event. The conference portion was scientifically fulfilling and the summer school went really…

Come on! I don’t need to introduce George E. Andrews, do I? I also frankly don’t have the space to write down half the things he accomplished. Instead, I will say that I am so lucky to have met him. He is a regular visitor of University of Florida and the number theory seminars that…

May 30 – June 5, 2022, @ Nesin Mathematics Village It finally happened! Since 2018, I have been trying to find a time to organize this event. The first Workshop on Integer Partitions at the Nesin Mathematics Village (NMK, their Turkish abbreviation) was great fun and a major success. I wanted to keep the ball…

Matthew England is a great collaborator. I am glad to be in the same project as him. Coventry University is also a great host. I enjoy my visits to this group a lot. After working for 3 days non-stop, we had a short time to have this chat. I am so happy that we get…

Hebron & Medlock Professor of Information Technology James H. Davenport needs no introduction. I have been meaning to have this interview for a while now, but 15 minutes is a long time to sit and chat when you are as busy as James. He is so courteous to spare me this time, so that I…

Studying theory of partitions, I come across many natural and exotic definitions. Cylindric partitions is one of those that is both. I don’t know how but it somehow is. Informally cylindric partitions encodes information about non-intersecting lattice walks and that is clearly natural. However, it is also a finite vector of partitions that can be…

This is a better deal than any deal you can find on the market. Bailey’s lemma is an amazing tool. At its core it is a really simple observation but in practice it is a beast. I can (and will) state the actual lemma and you will think to yourself “is this it?”. I am…

I want to write a short note on the Kanade-Russell conjectures especially concerning their brief history and my involvement with them. This comes right after my new manuscript titled “Reflecting (on) the modulo 9 Kanade-Russell (conjectural) identities” with Wadim Zudilin. Long story way too short, I find these conjectures to be marvelous and equally frustrating.…
