PROF. LANE VESTERGAARD HAU BIOGRAPHY AND BEST QUOTES || ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT WOMEN IN SCIENCE

1. Lene Vestergaard Hau (born November 13, 1959) is a Danish physicist and educator. She is the Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics and of Applied Physics at Harvard University.

2. In 1999, she led a Harvard University team who, by use of a Bose–Einstein condensate, succeeded in slowing a beam of light to about 17 metres per second, and, in 2001, was able to stop a beam completely.

3. Later work based on these experiments led to the transfer of light to matter, then from matter back into light, a process with important implications for quantum encryption and quantum computing.

4. More recent work has involved research into novel interactions between ultracold atoms and nanoscopic-scale systems.

5. In addition to teaching physics and applied physics, she has taught Energy Science at Harvard,involving photovoltaic cells, nuclear power, batteries, and photosynthesis.

6. In addition to her own experiments and research, she is often invited to speak at international conferences, and is involved in structuring the science policies of various institutions.

7. She was keynote speaker at EliteForsk-konferencen 2013 ("Elite Research Conference") in Copenhagen, which was attended by government ministers, as well as senior science policy and research developers in Denmark.

8. In acknowledgment of her many achievements, Discover Magazine recognized her in 2002 as one of the 50 most important women in science.

9. HERE ARE SOME OF THE BEST QUOTES OF LANE HAU ARE VERY POPULAR

10. Physics is about questioning, studying, probing nature. You probe, and, if you're lucky, you get strange clues.

11. To me, what makes physics physics is that experiment is intimately connected to theory. It's one whole.

12. There's a tremendous amount of work building the apparatus, getting the experiment to work. But sitting there late at night in the lab, and knowing light is going at bicycle speed, and that nobody in the history of mankind has ever been here before - that is mind-boggling. It's worth everything.

13. Incidentally, think about the ramifications of storing data on light waves that can be stopped and started at the speed of light.

14. Of course, in all magic tricks there's a secret.
