Anupam Mazumdar is a theoretical physicist at Lancaster University and at the University of Groningen specialising in cosmology and quantum gravity. He has previously been affiliated to the Higgs Centre, at Edinburgh University, and the Discovery Center at the Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen.
He has initiated the ideas on multi field theory of inflation, such as assisted inflation, visible sector inflation such as MSSM inflation, and ghost-free and singularity-free construction of infinite derivative theories of gravity, 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.
