From the Himalayas to the tropical forests and coastlines, I will highlight some of India\u0027s remarkable natural diversity and its connections to ecology and mathematical biology. We will also explore fascinating examples of India\u0027s mathematical heritage, from the remarkable contributions of Srinivasa Ramanujan to the ancient magic square at the Khajuraho temple. I will briefly introduce mathematical biology research and institutions in India, along with a glimpse of my hometown, academic journey, and upcoming faculty position.\u003C/p\u003E\u000A\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EShort Bio: \u003C/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp\u003BDr. Sagar is a STEM postdoctoral researcher in the School of Data, Mathematical, and Statistical Sciences at the University of Central Florida. His current research focuses on mathematical epidemiology, dynamical systems, Lyapunov methods, and computational PDEs. He earned his PhD in Applied Mathematics from the National Institute of Technology Rourkela, with research on meshless numerical methods, radial basis functions, and fractional partial differential equations. He was a Halloran Scholar at SISMID, Emory University, and was selected for the SIAM Mathematical Problems in Industry Workshop and the OneMath World School in Mathematical Biology.\u003C/p\u003E",
