Nukri Komin is Associate Professor at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits). He was senior lecturer at Wits (2013 - 2016); Researcher of LAPP/CNRS , Annecy (2009 - 2013); Post-doctoral fellow of CEA, Centre de Saclay (2008 - 2009); and Post-doctoral fellow of LPTA/CNRS, Montpellier (2005 - 2007). He obtained a PhD at Humboldt University Berlin, Germany in 2005. His main research interests are gamma-ray astronomy and high-energy astrophysics and the search for the sources of the Cosmic Rays. I mainly work on Galactic sources and the remnants of stellar explosions: supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, gamma-ray binaries. He is member of the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S) Collaboration and the CTA Consortium. In the last years he worked on the gamma-ray emission of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with H.E.S.S. They could show that gamma-ray emission from objects similar to sources in the Milky Way can be detected with current generation gamma-ray telescopes. But it turns out that the sources in the LMC are much more powerful than their Milky Way counter-parts.
