Douglas
Osheroff was born and raised in Aberdeen, Washington,
a logging town in the Pacific Northwest. There
he attended public schools. He did his undergraduate
work at Caltech, receiving his B.S. in physics
in 1967. His graduate work was done at Cornell
University, where his Ph.D. thesis work resulted
in the discovery of three superfluid phases of
liqud 3He. These phases are neutral analogs to
the superconductors, but with greater complexity
in their order. Leaving Cornell in the fall of
1972, he spent the next fifteen years in the physical
research division at AT&T Bell Laboratories,
the last six as the head of their Low Temperature
and Solid State Research Department. In 1987 he
came to Stanford University, where he is the J.G.
Jackson and C.J. Wood Professor of Physics and
the Gerhard Casper University Fellow for Undergraduate
Education. He has also served as chair of the
Physics Department at Stanford from 1993-96, and
again from 2001-04. In 2003 Osheroff served as
a member on the Columbia Accident Investigation
Board, which determined the causes of the accident
that led to the destruction of Space Shuttle Columbia
during re-entry on 1 February, 2003. Osheroff
has received numerous awards for his research.
These include the Sir Francis Simon Memorial Award,
the Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Physics
Prize, the MacArthur Prize Fellowship Award, and
the 1996 Nobel Prize for Physics. In 1991 Stanford
University gave him their Walter J. Gores Award
for Excellence in Teaching. |
