Dr. Suvrat Raju is a theoretical physicist at ICTS, Bangalore. He mainly works on black hole information and AdS/CFT (bulk/boundary correspondence). He is a proponent of the "holography of information" proposal, which says that information about black holes is always available outside. His list of works can be found at the link below.
