Welcome

I’m Madhur Mehta, a Heising-Simons Postdoctoral Fellow at UCSB, originally from Jaipur, India. I study black holes, horizonless compact objects, and the quantum nature of spacetime, and gravitational waves, connecting theory with observations to explore how quantum gravity might leave detectable signals in the cosmos. My work addresses the black hole information paradox and the thermodynamics of extremely compact objects (ECOs). Beyond physics, I enjoy sketching, painting, cooking, solving puzzles, playing chess, running, boxing, listening to music, and watching movies and anime, and I share my passion for science through mentoring and my YouTube channel, Time Before Space.
