Sunil Samolwar, PhD is a professor of physics at Rutgers University.

Professor Somalwar smashes very high energy particles at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) near Chicago.  The protons and antiprotons he studies collide head on while traveling at about 99.99995% of the speed of light. These collisions create conditions that existed in our universe soon after the Big Bang and help us answer fundamental questions such as how the universe came about, what it is made of, why things attract or repel each other and where all the antimatter has gone. 

Sunil is also very concerned about how we humans are smashing the natural world, which is partly why he teaches a course on global warming to nonscience majors. He also runs a nonprofit to save the world's remaining few wild tigers and is a volunteer activist with New Jersey's Sierra Club.
