Ms J N Sandhya has a bachelor's degree in arts from Bangalore University. Proficient in technical typing in English, Kannada and mathematics, using Latex, she has worked in reputed institutions like the Indian Institute of Science (Departments of Physics, Inorganic and Physical Chemistry, Applied Mathematics) and the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, before joining NIAS. At NIAS, she had assisted the late Prof S Settar in the publication of his Kannada dictionary and earlier served as a secretary to the late Prof C V Sundaram, when he published his renowned book, Atomic Energy in India – 50 Years. Sandhya had also assisted the late Prof K Ramachandra in publishing 33 volumes of his distinguished Hardy Ramanujan Journal from 1997 to 2010 and in the preparation of an acclaimed book, Theory of Numbers, in 2007. Sandhya has worked on the development and maintenance of the infrastructural facilities of NIAS till 2008 and coordinated several national and international courses at the institute. She was also instrumental in coordinating the establishment of the First INFOSYS Prize for Mathematics, 2009, jointly organised by Infosys and NIAS. 

Currently a Senior Executive Assistant in the NIAS Doctoral Programme, Sandhya has been active – virtually singlehandedly – coordinating the activities of the Programme for over 16 years now. This has involved guiding the admission process of all the students each year till the final submission of their thesis to the concerned university, handling the affairs of occasionally more than 70 students at a time. She also provides secretarial support to the faculty of the International Strategic and Security Studies Programme, thus being involved in the organisation of national and international conferences, other meetings and public lectures of the Programme throughout the year.
