Established in 1976 by the University at its Centennial to honor Johns Hopkins alumni
In 1976, the University celebrated its 100th birthday with a year of parties, dinners, and parades and a centennial symposium that brought scholars from all over the world to Hopkins. The century of achievement was also commemorated by the establishment of two Alumni Centennial Professorships in the School of Arts and Sciences.
RAMAN SUNDRUM, the Alumni Centennial Professor, joined the faculty in the Department of Physics & Astronomy in 2000. His research is in theoretical particle physics and focuses on theoretical mechanisms and observable implications of extra spacetime dimensions, supersymmetry, and strongly coupled dynamics. While working as a posdoc at Boston University, Dr. Sundrum and Dr. Lisa Randall at MIT discovered the Randall-Sundrum theory (employing warped geometry in extra dimensions). The fruits of that collaboration are two of the most cited papers in physics for the past five years. Dr. Sundrum was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2003.
