ProfileSuvrat Raju studied at St. Stephen’s College (Delhi), where he obtained his B.Sc. (Hons) in Physics in 2002. He then joined Harvard University directly for a Ph.D in theoretical physics, which he obtained in 2008. He worked at the Harish-Chandra Institute, as a postdoctoral fellow and a Ramanujan Fellow before joining the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, where he is currently a Reader in Physics. He was also visiting Assistant Professor at Brown University in the spring-semester, 2012, and a visiting member of the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton) in the fall-semester, 2012.

In 2013, he was awarded both the INSA Young Scientist Medal, and the NASI Platinum-Jubilee Young Scientist Award.

research DescriPtion Suvrat Raju’s research focuses on string theory, quantum gravity, and quantum field theory. His Ph.D

focused on understanding supersymmetric partition functions in the AdS / CFT conjecture. Together with several collaborators, he proposed an “index” for supersymmetric quantum field theories that is protected under deformations of the theory and has been very useful for several questions. Subsequently, he investigated new techniques of computing scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory. He adapted these techniques to the AdS / CFT correspondence, and used them to calculate several physical quantities of interest, which were inaccessible by previous methods. Over the past few years, he has focused on understanding the black-hole information paradox using the AdS / CFT conjecture. Most recently, he showed how one could describe the interior of a black-hole using a boundary field theory, and he then used this construction to address several recent debates on this issue.
