Anirban Chakraborti (born 10 February 1975) is an Indian physicist and professor of econophysics at the School of Computational and Integrative Sciences at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi. Anirban Chakraborti has published work mainly in the fields of econophysics and data science.
He was elected as fellow of The World Academy of Sciences for "performing important and influential interdisciplinary research on the statistical physics of complex socioeconomic systems, termed 'econophysics' and 'sociophysics'."




Early life and education


Anirban Chakraborti was born in Darjeeling on February 10, 1975. His schooling was done in St. Joseph's School (Darjeeling) and Mount Hermon School (Darjeeling). He completed his bachelors degree in Physics from Scottish Church College, Kolkata and his masters degree in Physics from Rajabazar Science College, University of Calcutta. He then completed his Ph.D. degree from the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, under the supervision of Prof. Bikas K. Chakrabarti. He completed the Habilitation à diriger des recherches (HDR) in Physics from the Pierre and Marie Curie University.




Career


Previously, Chakraborti has served as the Chair of Quantitative Finance at École Centrale Paris, France; and Lecturer in theoretical physics at Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi. He held the position of Dean Research and Dean of School of Engineering and Technology at BML Munjal University. He is an international member of the Centro Internacional de Ciencas A.C. He is a founding member of Centre for Complexity Economics, Applied Spirituality and Public Policy, Jindal School of Government and Public Policy.

Chakraborti research interests have focused on kinetic exchange models of income and wealth distributions. Kinetic exchange models are a class of multi agent models, inspired from statistical physics and thermodynamics which attempts to explain the universal features present in income and wealth distributions. Anirban Chakraborti, along with Bikas K. Chakrabarti, proposed the "Chakraborti-Chakrabarti model" which was able to describe the gamma like distributions of income and wealth by taking saving propensity of agents into consideration.
Another model that Chakraborti proposed, named "Yard-sale model" attempts to describe mechanisms through which inequality arises in wealth and income.
