Nobel Laureates

In 2005, John Hall was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics along with fellow researchers Roy J. Glauber, from Harvard University, and Theodor W. Hansch, from Munich, Germany. Dr. Hall's efforts developed laser-based precision spectroscopy, which includes the optical frequency comb technique. He is currently a professor of physics at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Eric Cornell and Carl Wieman are both distinguished professors of physics at CU Boulder. In 2001, they won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their creation of the world's first Bose-Einstein condensate that they created in 1995.

In 1989, Thomas Robert Cech was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery that RNA in living cells is not only a molecule of heredity, but can also function as a biocatalyst. Cech is currently employed in the Molecular Cellular Developmental Biology Department at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
