Dr. Myriam Sarachik, 2005 L'Oreal/UNESCO for Women in Science Laureate, June 22, 2005
For more than 40 years,
Dr. Myriam Sarachik has been a prominent experimental condensed matter physicist and a leader in the international physics community. She is the recipient of the 2005 Oliver E. Buckley Prize in Condensed Matter Physics.Dr. Sarachik's career in experimental condensed matter physics has focused on superconductivity, disordered metallic alloys, metal-insulator transitions in doped semiconductors, hopping transport in solids, and tunneling of magnetization in molecular magnets. In particular, she has made seminal contributions to Kondo physics, a central theme in condensed matter physics, and the metal-insulator transition.
