Suraj Kumar Maurya

Welcome to my webpage:

Hey! I'm Suraj Kumar Maurya, previously a Ph.D. scholar at (INO) TIFR/BARC Mumbai. Currently, I'm pursuing my Ph.D. at the Department of Physics, BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus, under the guidance of Prof. Rahul Nigam and Prof. Sashideep Gutti. My research focuses on classical and quantum theories of black holes, exploring their interior volume, entropy, and dynamic evolution. This pursuit deepens our cosmic understanding and offers insights into the universe's fundamental nature. (Find CV Here...)
