Anwar Y. Shiekh is a theoretical physicist known for his work on the quantization of gravity and on obstructions to the perturbative quantization of Einstein's general relativity. He is listed in The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists.

Work

Shiekh has published on quantum gravity, raising the question of whether a consistent quantum form of Einstein gravity exists and examining obstructions to its perturbative quantization. His papers, several posted on arXiv, include work on the perturbative quantization of gravity and on the "consistency of orthodox gravity," some in collaboration with S. Bellucci and A. Akhundov, and have appeared in venues such as the Canadian Journal of Physics and international workshop proceedings. He has been associated with Colorado Mesa University, where he lists himself as a theoretical physicist.
