Douglas D. Osheroff Net Worth

Douglas D. Osheroff is an American physicist who was born in Aberdeen, Washington in 1945. He was one of the co-recipients of the 1996 Nobel Prize for Physics for his discovery of superfluidity in the isotope helium-3. He developed an early interest in science due to his medical family and was encouraged by his parents to pursue his passion. He attended the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and was tutored by Nobel laureate Richard Feynman. He then went on to Cornell University for his doctorate and worked with David Lee and Robert C. Richardson to make the discovery of superfluidity in the isotope helium-3. In addition to his academic duties, he has also served on the Space Shuttle Columbia investigation panel.

Biography/Timeline

1967

Osheroff earned his Bachelor's degree in 1967 from Caltech, where he attended lectures by Richard Feynman and did undergraduate research for Gerry Neugebauer.

1970

He married a biochemist, Phyllis Liu-Osheroff, in 1970.

1973

Osheroff received a Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1973. He then worked at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey for 15 years, continuing to research low-temperature phenomena in He. In 1987 he moved to the Departments of Physics and Applied Physics at Stanford University, where he also served as department chair from 1993-96. His research is focused on phenomena that occur at extremely low temperatures.

1996

Osheroff joined the Laboratory of Atomic and Solid State Physics at Cornell University as a graduate student, doing research in low-temperature physics. Together with David Lee, the head of the laboratory, and Robert C. Richardson, Osheroff used a Pomeranchuk cell to investigate the behaviour of He at temperatures within a few thousandths of a degree of absolute zero. They discovered unexpected effects in their measurements, which they eventually explained as phase transitions to a superfluid phase of He. Lee, Richardson and Osheroff were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1996 for this discovery.

2008

Osheroff is left-handed, and he often blames his slight quirks and eccentricities on it. He is also an avid Photographer and introduces students at Stanford to medium-format film photography in a freshman seminar titled "Technical Aspects of Photography." In addition, he has taught the Stanford introductory physics course on electricity and magnetism on multiple occasions, most recently in Spring 2008, as well as undergraduate labs on low temperature physics.

2013

Among his physics outreach activities, Osheroff participated in the science festivals for middle and high school students, is an official guest of honor at the International Young Physicists' Tournament 2013.
