Anupam Mazumdar

Anupam Mazumdar is a theoretical physicist at Lancaster University and at the University of Groningen^[1] specialising in cosmology and quantum gravity.^[2] He has previously been affiliated to the Higgs Centre, at Edinburgh University,^[3] and the Discovery Center at the Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen.^[4]

He has initiated the ideas on multi field theory of inflation, such as assisted inflation,^[5] visible sector inflation such as MSSM inflation,^[6] and ghost-free and singularity-free construction of infinite derivative theories of gravity,^[7] which can potentially resolve the Schwarzschild singularity for mini-blackholes, yielding a non-singular compact object without event horizon, and cosmological singularities. At small time scales and at short distances the gravitational interaction weakens sufficiently enough that a finite pressure from normal matter satisfying null, strong and weak energy conditions can avoid forming blackhole and cosmological singularities.
