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 '[[Social physics|sociophysics]]'."<ref>{{cite web | url=https://twas.org/article/twas-elects-50-new-fellows | title=TWAS elects 50 new Fellows | date=21 November 2022 }}</ref>

== Early life and education ==
Anirban Chakraborti was born in [[Darjeeling]] on February 10, 1975.<ref name="TWAS Direct." /> His schooling was done in [[St. Joseph's School, Darjeeling|St. Joseph's School (Darjeeling)]] and [[Mount Hermon School, Darjeeling|Mount Hermon School (Darjeeling)]]. He completed his bachelor's 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 Chakrabarti|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;<ref>{{cite web | url=https://fiquant.mics.centralesupelec.fr/en/node/287 | title=HomeFQ | Quantitative Finance }}</ref> 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<ref>{{cite web |title=BML Munjal University names Dr. Anirban Chakraborti, the Dean of School of Engineering & Technology and Dean Research {{!}} Business Standard News (business-standard.com) - Newsroom - BMU Alumni Network |url=https://alumni.bmu.edu.in/newsroom/news/BML-Munjal-University-names-Dr-Anirban-Chakraborti-the-Dean-of-School-of-Engineering-Technology-and-Dean-Research-Business-Standard-News-business-standardcom.dz |website=BML Munjal University Alumni Association |language=en |date=24 November 2021}}</ref> at [[BML Munjal University]].

=== Research interest ===
Chakraborti research interests have focused on kinetic exchange models of income and wealth distributions. [[Kinetic exchange models of markets|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 Chakrabarti|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.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Pudding |first=The |title=Why the super rich are inevitable |url=https://pudding.cool/2022/12/yard-sale |access-date=2024-08-02 |website=The Pudding |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Boghosian |first=Bruce M. |date=2019-11-01 |title=Is Inequality Inevitable? |url=https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-inequality-inevitable/ |access-date=2024-08-02 |website=Scientific American |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-02-06 |title=Follow the Money |url=https://www.americanscientist.org/article/follow-the-money |access-date=2024-08-02 |website=American Scientist |language=en}}</ref>
