I am a leading researcher in rough sets, algebra, logic, formal approaches to vagueness, and allied areas. My areas of specialization include meaning in AI/ML, algebraic models, granular computing, mereology, clustering, math education research, gender studies, and FOM. I have been associated with the the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, HBCSE, Tata Institute for Fundamenta Research, Mumbai, and the University of Calcutta.
I am a senior member of the International Rough Set Society.
This website definitely needs an update!
I am one of the Editors-in-Chief of the forthcoming "Handbook of General Rough Sets" in the Springer Major Reference Works Series. .New Submissions are still Possible (Email me)!
My forthcoming book on "General Rough Sets for the Skeptical Education Researcher" (Springer) is nearly done. . I will update the details soon.
Recently I co-edited and majorly contributed to a research volume on "Algebraic Methods in General Rough Sets" in the Springer Trends in Mathematics Series . It is listed here.
I am very active in mathematics education research. Recently, my research chapter on Approximate Reasoning in Ethnomathematics is accepted for publication. My MES 2025 paper is on the limitations of generative AI/LLMs. The capabilities of the latter for handling research-level mathematics is another topic of interest. I started teaching from a very young age and have over eighteen years of experience in teaching at different levels. These days I restrict myself to education research and some specialized teaching. I was involved in course material design, preparation,and question banks.
Software related specifications and code have been a part time concern of mine for long. GNU/R, soft, statistical and scientific computing are areas of my specialization. Other areas on which I have worked include formal specifications, Free software licenses and GNU/Linux.
I have been associated with the free software movement, FOSS and GNU/Linux for over a decade especially in the areas of advocacy, teaching, development and documentation.
My beautiful personal blog is at this location. Mostly it is about my transition, feminist issues and free software. I describe many aspects of my transition in this long article in particular. Basics of gender dysphoria are explained in this article.
I had maintained my earlier web page at logicamani.co.cc (it used to redirect here).
My Google mail id is adotrough manidotrough cms (replace dot with full stop, remove rough and no spaces ). I am in a few research related and Google+ communities. Needless to say, am additionally active in many academic mailing lists in Mathematics, logic, philosophy, Free Software and computer science. My research gate page is at this link . I am a Syster. I am not active on Facebook or Twitter. My facebook page is at this link.
