Dr. Johann Rafelski is a theoretical subatomic physicist, exploring the behavior of matter under extreme conditions causing acceleration vacuum frictional force. He predicted strange particle observable of the new quark-gluon state of matter. Currently he explores the associated transformation processes of energy into matter and antimatter. He uses related methods and results in modeling of the dynamical evolution of primordial Universe and in the study of table-top nuclear fusion processes. Rafelski is foreign member of Academia Europea, honorary (foreign) member of Hungarian Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS). He was an Excellence Professor of the German Research Foundation (DFG) at LMU Munich in 2008/9, a Fulbright Fellow (Summers 2019 and 2021), hosted by the Wigner Research Center in Budapest. Prof. Rafelski has been elected to the Faculty Senate of The University of Arizona for the periods 2018-2020 and 2020-2022 as a representative of the College of Science, and to the University-wide Strategic Planning and Budget Advisory Committee (SPBAC) 2022-24; he returns to the Faculty Senate of The University of Arizona for the Period 2023-2025, elected to represent the general UA faculty.
