Raman Sundrum (* 1964 in Madras ) is an Indian-American theoretical physicist.

Raman Sundrum at Harvard 2003

Life

Sundrum moved with his family to the United States in 1965, back to India in 1970 and to Canberra in 1973 . He graduated from the University of Sydney with a bachelor's degree in 1984 and received his doctorate in 1990 from Lawrence Krauss at Yale University (Theoretical and Phenomenological Aspects of Effective Gauge Theories). As a post-doctoral student he was at the University of California, Berkeley from 1990 to 1993, at Harvard University from 1993 to 1996 and at Boston University from 1996 to 1999 . From 2000 he was Associate Professor and from 2001 Professor at Johns Hopkins University (from 2006 Alumni Centennial Chair ) and has been Professor at the University of Maryland since 2010 , where he is Distinguished Professor (from 2012 John S. Toll Chair ) and since 2012 Director of the Maryland Center for Fundamental Physics .

He is known for particle physics models with small extra dimensions with Lisa Randall , published in Physical Review Letters 1999 ( Randall-Sundrum model ). The collaboration between the two took place when Sundrum was at Boston University (and was considering migrating to the financial industry) and Randall was at Harvard. They both knew each other from Sundrum's previous post-doc at Harvard, where they had worked together. The work was among the most cited publications in physics in the early 2000s. He also proposed dynamic breaking of supersymmetry through anomalies with Randall .

In 2003 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society , which awarded him its Sakurai Prize for 2019 . In 2011 he became a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science .
