Carl D. Weiman

Carl D. Wieman is an American physicist known for his groundbreaking work in the field of atomic physics. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2001 for his research on Bose-Einstein condensates, a state of matter formed at extremely low temperatures where atoms behave collectively, akin to a single quantum entity. Beyond his research, Wieman is also a prominent advocate for improving science education, promoting active learning and effective teaching methods in university settings. His work aims to enhance the way science is taught and understood, making it more accessible and engaging for students.
