Myriam Sarachik
Myriam P. Sarachik was a Belgian-born American experimental physicist. From 1996, she was a Distinguished Professor of Physics at The City College of New York. She joined the Physics Department in 1964. Her work was primarily in the field of low temperature condensed matter physics, in which she focused on molecular nanomagnets and novel phenomena in dilute two-dimensional electron systems. In 2020 Sarachik was awarded the American Physical Society Medal for Exceptional Achievement in Research for her "contributions to the physics of electronic transport in solids and molecular magnetism". She was President of APS in 2003, and was awarded the Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Physics Prize in 2005. In 2008 she was elected to the governing council of the National Academy of Sciences.
