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

He has initiated the ideas on multi field theory of inflation, such as assisted inflation,^[4] visible sector inflation such as MSSM inflation,^[5] and ghost-free and singularity-free construction of infinite higher derivative theories of gravity,^[6] which can potentially resolve the Schwarzschild singularity for mini-blackholes and cosmological singularities.
