- Raman Sundrum
Raman Sundrum is a theoretical particle physicist. His most famous contribution to the field is a class of models called the
Randall-Sundrum model s, first published in 1999 withLisa Randall . Sundrum is one of two Alumni Centennial Professors in the Department of Physics and Astronomy of theJohns Hopkins University ,Baltimore ,Maryland ,United States . His research is in theoretical particle physics and focuses on theoretical mechanisms and observable implications of extraspacetime dimensions,supersymmetry , and strongly coupled dynamics.According to
Scientific American .com [" [http://www.sciam.com/article.cfmchanID=sa006&colID=30&articleID=000EB657-C6C7-1331-841D83414B7FFE9F The Beauty of Branes] ", Scientific American, October 2005.] , he was considering leavingPhysics forFinance , when the now famous author and collaboratorLisa Randall called to propose working together on membranes, or "branes" as they are known. Branes are domains or swaths of several spatial dimensions within a higher-dimensional space. The fruits of that collaboration were papers known as RS-1 and RS-2, two of the most cited in physics for the past five years.

Australia before going to the US for graduate school.Notes
