Dr. C S Yogananda got his B.Sc., M.Sc.(Mathematics) degrees from Bangalore Univ. He obtained his Ph.D. (Mathematics ) in 1990 from the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai, (University of Madras), working under the guidance of the renowned number theorist, Prof. R. Balasubramanian. After his Ph.D, he spent two years in the Panjab Univ., Chandigarh, (1990-92).

He was associated with the training and selection of the Indian team to International Mathematics Olympiads from 1989-2005. During the period 1992-2005 he was at the Math Olympiad Cell, Department of Mathematics, IISc., Bangalore.

In 2005 he moved to Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering, Mysore, as Professor and Head of the Department, to pursue his passion for teaching in the Undergraduate programme. After superannuation in Sept 2020, he served as a visiting professor at Krea University (Nov 2022 – Oct 2025) and Chanakya University (Oct 2023 – June 2024).
