BRIEF BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: Raymond John Protheroe

	After completing a Ph.D. on cosmic ray air shower
simulation at the University of Durham, England, 1978, Dr
Protheroe spent another year at Durham working with Arnold
Wolfendale on gamma ray astrophysics.  This was followed by three
years at N.A.S.A. Goddard Space Flight Center, initially as a
U.S. National Academy of Science/National Research Council
Research Associate working with Jon Ormes on cosmic ray
propagation and Demos Kazanas on models of active galactic
nuclei.

	In 1983 Dr Protheroe moved to Australia as a Queen
Elizabeth II Fellow, and subsequently became a member of academic
staff at the University of Adelaide where he continues to
conduct research on the origin of cosmic rays, active galaxies,
and gamma-ray and neutrino astrophysics.

	Dr Protheroe is the author of over 70 articles on high
energy astrophysics in refereed journals, and over 100 papers in
conference proceedings.  In 1985 he was presented with the
inaugural Shakti P. Duggal Award during the International Cosmic
Ray Conference in La Jolla, U.S.A.  Dr Protheroe has given
several invited talks at national and international conferences,
most recently at `Neutrino 98' at Takayama, Japan, and at the
Annual Scientific Meeting of the Astronomical Society of
Australia in Adelaide in July 1998.
