Suvrat Raju is an Indian physicist. He is known for his work on black holes.[1] He was awarded the 2019 ICTP Prize[2] [3] [4] and the 2022 Nishina Asia award.[5] [6]

Research

Raju advanced a potential resolution of the black hole information paradox,[7] which is based on the idea that "all the information inside a black hole can be recovered from outside" in quantum gravity.[8] [9] Together with Kyriakos Papadodimas, Raju formulated the Papadodimas-Raju proposal for black holes [10] [11] Raju was part of a collaboration that proposed the utility of the Mellin transform in AdS/CFT arguing that it provided a "natural language" for correlation functions.[12] Raju was part of a collaboration that developed an "index" for quantum field theories with super-conformal symmetry.[13]

Career

Raju studied physics at St. Stephen's College in Delhi University from 1999 to 2002. He earned his PhD at Harvard University in 2008.[14] He is currently a professor at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research.[15] [16]

Public Advocacy

Raju criticized aspects of the Indo-U.S. nuclear deal arguing, with M. V. Ramana, that the Indian nuclear liability bill favored foreign nuclear corporations[24] [25] and that the nuclear reactors that the Indian government was planning to import were expensive.[26] [27] Raju was part of a team of scientists that released a report on the protests at Hyderabad central University in 2016 that was critical of the actions of the university administration.[28] [29] Raju was part of a group of scientists who argued that the 2019 Indian Citizenship (Amendment) Act was discriminatory.[30] [31] [32] [33]
