Indranil Chakraborty

I am a theoretical physicist specializing in general relativity, modified theories of gravity, and gravitational wave physics. A central theme of my research has been centered on gravitational wave memory, exploring both its theoretical foundations and its potential observational signatures. Beyond that, I am broadly interested in strong-field gravitational phenomena, particularly those arising in the late inspiral and coalescence of compact-object binaries.

I am currently a Fulbright-Nehru Postdoctoral Fellow in the group of Prof. David A. Nichols at the University of Virginia, USA.

Before that, I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Gravitation and Cosmology Group, led by Prof. S. Shankaranarayanan at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India. 

I completed my Ph.D. in Physics (2017–2023) at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur under the supervision of Prof. Sayan Kar.
