Arjun Kudinoor

I'm a Euretta J. Kellett Fellow and Mathematics Part III student at Cambridge University, and an incoming Physics PhD student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I'm also a recent graduate of Columbia University, where I studied physics and mathematics.

My academic interests are in theoretical and mathematical physics. My most recent research, with Prof. Krishna Rajagopal at MIT, is on the theoretical study of hot-QCD using holographic calculations of jets in heavy ion collisions. In Spring 2023, I wrote a senior thesis in mathematical gauge theory with Prof. Mike Miller Eismeier, and worked with Prof. Brian Cole to study jets in quark gluon plasma from heavy ion collisions at the LHC. My undergraduate research was supported by the Goldwater Scholarship and the Science Research Fellowship.

In addition to being a student, I'm also the founder and CEO of Tutors For Change, a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to creating a world free of barriers to receiving a good education. Our services include free online tutoring, summer coding and robotics camps, and college application seminars. I founded Tutors For Change in July 2020, and we have tutored over 650 students and empowered over 350 volunteers since.
