Prof. Panos Razis
Panos Razis is a Professor of Physics at the University of Cyprus. He holds a BSc degree in Physics from the National Kapodistrian University of Athens (1980) and a Master of Science (1982), Master of Philosophy (1982) and Ph.D. (1986) degrees in Physics from Yale University, USA.
 
He worked at Yale University, at the National Polytechnic School of Zurich (ETH-Zurich) and at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN), where since 1986 he is conducting his experiments in High Energy Physics. He is one of the leading members of the CMS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) that discovered the Higgs boson, which led to the award of the Nobel Prize in Physics (2013) to Profs Francois Englert and Peter Higgs - for the discovery of a mechanism that contributes to the understanding of the origin of mass of the subatomic particles. His areas of expertise and research programs focus in High Energy Physics, Astroparticle Physics, Ionizing and Non-Ionizing Radiation and Medical Physics.
 
He served as President of the Rectors Conference of Cyprus (2008-2011), first President of the Governing Board of the Open University of Cyprus (2003-2011), Vice President of the Cyprus Council for the Recognition of Higher Education Qualifications (ΚΥΣΑΤΣ 2003-2006), Chairman of the Physics Department, member off the Senate and Chairman of several Committees (Research, Safety, Health, Organization and Development of Buildings) of the University of Cyprus. He also served as Chairman of international committees for the evaluation of universities, Election and Promotion Committees of the academic staff, member of the Cyprus Higher Education Council and Chairman of the Committee for the upgrade of the Cyprus Police Academy. He is a member of the Scientific Council of the National Council of Research and Innovation of Greece for the Natural Sciences.
 
During the course of the Cyprus accession at CERN he was appointed as President of the Cyprus-CERN Committee. He currently serves as Scientific Delegate of Cyprus at CERN and appointed member in the European Committee for Future Accelerators (ECFA), which shapes the European strategy on accelerators, particle physics and other related fields with major impact for science and society. He is the Coordinator of a project on the development of a Cyclotron Center for the production of radiopharmaceuticals at the University Campus and Advisor of the Cyprus government on the installation of a Proton Therapy Center for radiation treatment of serious diseases (cancer, degenerative diseases).
 
Since 1992 he founded and leads the Cyprus High-Energy Physics Group at CERN. He founded 2 research and 3 teaching laboratories at the University of Cyprus and he was the Scientific Coordinator of 30 research projects. He has 1159 publications in international refereed journals, 45 Technical Design Reports and Experimental Proposals, 42 Technical Notes and 1 international patent. He taught 16 different courses in the physics curriculum and supervised 7 postdoctoral researchers, 16 research assistants, 14 PhD students, 11 Master students and 50 Diploma Theses. He organized or co-organized 10 international conferences and participated in many international conferences and workshops in Cyprus and abroad.
 
He served as Ambassador of Cyprus for Fair Play under the European Council and as Deputy Head of the Cyprus Delegation to 4 consecutive Universiade Games and to the latest Mediterranean Games. He was a member of the National Teams of Greece and Cyprus in track and field and volleyball and co-founder and first President of the University Sports Club (ΑΠΟΚ). He is currently an elected member of the Executive Board of the European Universities Sports Association (EUSA), member of the National Olympic Academy of Cyprus and Vice President of the Cyprus University Sports Federation (ΚΟΠΑ).
