Myriam Sarachik

Biography

Myriam Sarachik was a distinguished condensed matter physicist at City College of New York whose career spanned six decades of groundbreaking research. Born in Antwerp, Belgium, she fled the Nazis as a child, eventually reaching the United States as a refugee. She provided the first experimental confirmation of the Kondo effect and became a pioneer in the study of quantum tunneling of magnetization in molecular magnets. As president of the American Physical Society in 2003, she was a powerful advocate for diversity in physics. She received the National Medal of Science and the APS Medal for Exceptional Achievement.

米里亚姆·萨拉奇克是纽约城市学院的杰出凝聚态物理学家，她的职业生涯跨越了六十年的开创性研究。她出生于比利时安特卫普，幼年逃离纳粹迫害，最终以难民身份到达美国。她首次从实验上证实了近藤效应，并成为分子磁体中磁化量子隧穿研究的先驱。2003年担任美国物理学会主席期间，她积极倡导物理学界的多元化。她获得了国家科学奖章和美国物理学会杰出成就奖章。
