Soebur Razzaque
Dr. Soebur Razzaque received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Kansas in 2002 involving studies of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays and neutrinos. He was a postdoctoral research fellow and subsequently a research associate at the Pennsylvania State University from 2002 to 2007. He won a National Research Council Research Associateship to work at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., during 2008-2010. He was appointed a Research Associate Professor at the George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia in 2011. Since 2013 Dr. Razzaque has been appointed a Professor at the University of Johannesburg in South Africa, where he is currently serving as the Director of the Centre for Astro-Particle Physics (CAPP).
The main research area of Dr. Razzaque is theory and computation in modeling high-energy cosmic rays, gamma rays and neutrino emission from astrophysical sources. He is particularly interested in gamma-ray bursts and active-galactic nuclei. He is also interested in exploring physical properties of neutrinos and searching for new physics signals. Dr. Razzaque is a member of the Fermi gamma-ray space telescope collaboration, the Cherenkov telescope array consortium and the KM3NeT neutrino telescope collaboration.
