Early life and education[edit]
Born in Chicago in 1945, Nan Phinney is the daughter of Thomas Ward Phinney and Martha Louise (née Lawrence) Phinney.[1] She is a granddaughter of photographer George R. Lawrence.[1]
Phinney completed a B.S. in physics in 1966 at Michigan State University[2]. In 1972 she earned a Ph.D. at the State University of New York, Stony Brook,[2] with the dissertation: Trident Production in Coulomb Field, advised by John (Jack) Smith.[3][4]
Career[edit]
From 1972 through 1980, Phinney held post doc positions form CERN and the University of Oxford, working at CERN on on high-energy particle physics experiments.[2][5]
Awards, honors[edit]
1993 American Physical Society Fellow, cited "For her many contributions to the successful development and operation of the Stanford Linear Collider.[6]
2003 Marsh O’Neill Award recipient[5]
