Deborah S. Jin (born November 15, 1968) is a physicist and fellow with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST); Professor Adjunct, Department of Physics at the University of Colorado; and a fellow of the JILA, a NIST joint laboratory with the University of Colorado.[1][2]

She is considered a pioneer in polar molecular quantum chemistry.[3] From 1995 to 1997 she worked with Eric Cornell and Carl Wieman at JILA, where she was involved in some of the earliest studies of dilute gas Bose-Einstein condensates.[4] In 2003, Dr. Jin's team at JILA made the first fermionic condensate, a new form of matter.[5] She used magnetic traps and lasers to cool fermionic atomic gases to less than 100 billionths of a degree above zero, successfully demonstrating quantum degeneracy and the formation of a molecular Bose-Einstein condensate.[6][7]

Education

Jin graduated from Princeton University in 1990 and received her degree in physics from the University of Chicago in 1995.[4]

Honors and awards

Jin is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences (2005)[3] and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[8][9]

Jin has won a number of prestigious awards, including:
