Mir Mehedi Faruk

I am a theoretical physicist with strong training in Physics and Mathematics. My primary focus is on tackling conceptual and computational challenges in black holes, cosmology, and quantum gravity. I study string theory and holographic approaches to quantum gravity, enhancing our understanding of non-trivial gravitational solutions with a particular emphasis on cosmology and black hole solutions.

I am passionate about promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion in physics and actively mentor young students from all backgrounds in pursuing science. I am interested in science communication and strive to make complex scientific concepts engaging and understandable for a broader audience.

I was born and raised in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I love to travel and play football.

I am currently working as a PostDoc Fellow at Centre of Fundamental Physics at ShanghaiTech University. I have recently obtained a PhD in Physics from the High Energy Theory group of McGill University, Montreal, Canada
