Welcome to Anjan’s page

Since August 2022, I am a Ph.D. student at the Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India. I work under the supervision of Prof. Sayan Kar.

The focus of my current research is in the field of Gravity, where one searches for systems such as regular black holes, wormholes, and other singularity-free solutions via solving Einstein’s field equation with some exotic or regular matter sources and studies of their different observable properties.

During my masters, I worked on black hole shadows of static, spherically symmetric and stationary, axisymmetric metrics, which are solutions in some alternative theories of gravity.

I care about promoting open, collaborative, and reproducible science. In my free time, you will find me reading story books or playing a videogame.
