Ann Nelson
Ann Elizabeth Nelson ( April 29, 1958 - August 4, 2019 ) was an American physicist who worked in the field of theoretical elementary particle physics .
Life
Ann Nelson studied physics at Stanford University and Harvard University , where she received her PhD in 1984 . She was a student of Howard Georgi . From 1992 to 1993 she was an Associate Professor at the University of California, San Diego . In 1994 she went to the University of Washington in Seattle , where she became a full professor in 1999.
Together with her colleagues, she made important contributions to the theory of spontaneous CP violation , kaon condensates, the explanation of baryon asymmetry in the early universe and the breaking of supersymmetry .
She became a Sloan Research Fellow in 1990 , a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 1998 and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2011 . In 2012 she was accepted into the National Academy of Sciences . For 2018 she was awarded her Sakurai Prize by APS with Michael Dine for pioneering explorations of physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, including her pioneering collaborative work on dynamic breaking of supersymmetry and for her innovative contributions in a wide range of research areas, including new ones Models for electroweak symmetry breaking, baryogenesis and solutions to the strong CP problem (laudation).
Ann Nelson was married to the physicist David B. Kaplan . She died on August 4, 2019 in a mountain accident in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness in Washington.
