Sameer Mathur, MD, PhD, is a physician-scientist and a practicing allergist-immunologist. His research investigates how eosinophils contribute to disease activity in the context of asthma and eosinophilic esophagitis.

Dr. Mathur’s research focuses on the role of eosinophils in airway inflammation and inflammatory mechanisms and biomarkers in eosinophilic esophagitis. He also leads clinic-based projects to improve the care for patients with mast cell disorders, including urticarial, angioedema, and mast cell activation syndrome.

Eosinophilic Esophagitis  

Our previous work has identified an eosinophil surface marker, CD41, that correlates with changes in esophageal eosinophil count

Samir D. Mathur

Indian physicist

Samir Dayal Mathur is a theoretical physicist who specializes in string theory and black hole physics.

Career

Teaching

Mathur is a professor in the Department of Physics at Ohio State University and a member of the University's High Energy Theory Group. He was a faculty member at Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1991–99 and held postdoctoral positions at Harvard University and the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research.^[1]

Research

Mathur's research is focused on string theory, black holes, the AdS/CFT correspondence, and cosmology. He is best known for developing the Fuzzball conjecture as a resolution of the black hole information paradox. The Fuzzball conjecture asserts that the fundamental description of black holes is given by a quantumbound state of matter which has the same size as the corresponding classical black hole.^[2] This quantum bound state replaces the event horizon and singularity, and the classical black hole metric is claimed to be an approximate effective descript
