Dr. T. Asir earned his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Mathematics from St. Xavier’s College, Palayamkottai, and completed his M.Phil. at Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli. He was awarded a gold medal for his M.Sc. and secured second rank at the university level in M.Phil. He obtained his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, supported by the University Grants Commission (UGC) under the “Major Project Fellowship” and the Department of Science & Technology (DST) through the “INSPIRE Fellowship.” Additionally, he pursued postdoctoral research under the UGC-Kothari Postdoctoral Fellowship.

Dr. Asir served as an Assistant Professor and Head (i/c) in the Department of Mathematics-DDE at Madurai Kamaraj University, Tamil Nadu, from December 2013 to July 2022. His research focuses on Algebraic Graph Theory and Combinatorial Commutative Algebra. He has published 41 research articles in international journals and authored three books, including works published by Springer and Cambridge. His research contributions have garnered 322 citations (h-index: 12) on Web of Science, 476 (h-index: 13) on Scopus, and 681 (h-index: 15) on Google Scholar. He recognized with honors such as the Tamilnadu Science Academy’s Young Scientist Award. He has successfully completed three research projects funded by the UGC-Startup Grant, SERB-MATRICS, and the Deanship of Scientific Research at King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia. Currently, his research is supported by a CSIR project.
Dr. Asir has received multiple travel grants from DST (2012), UGC (2015), SERB (2019), CSIR (2020), Gustave Eiffel University, France (2023), and Erasmus+ (2025), enabling him to present at international conferences in the UAE (2012), Thailand (2015), Palestine-Israel-Egypt (2019), Sharjah-UAE (2020), France & the Netherlands (2023), and France & Hungary (2025). Additionally, he has secured grants from SERB, DST, and CSIR to organize international conferences.
Under his supervision, 5 Ph.D. and 25 M.Phil. scholars have successfully completed their degrees. He has also delivered over 100 invited lectures at national and international conferences, as well as in orientation and refresher programs. As a reviewer for several international journals in pure and applied mathematics, he has contributed to the academic community. Furthermore, he has developed online mathematical content for MOOC courses on the SWAYAM platform (MHRD), covering topics such as “Core and Pedagogy of Mathematics,” “Modern Algebra,” “Graph Theory,” “Algebra,” and “Ring Theory and Linear Algebra.”
