Helen Rhoda Arnold Quinn (born 19 May 1943) is an Australian-born American particle physicist and educator. Her works to theoretical physics include the Peccei-Quinn theory which showed a corresponding symmetry of nature and works relating to particle interactions.[1][2]
Awards
In 2024, the Matteucci Medal was given by the Accademia Nazionale delle Scienze in Rome, Italy. She is the fourth woman to win this award since it started in 1868. The previous winners were Marie Curie, Irène Joliot-Curie, and Jocelyn Bell Burnell.[3]
In 2023, she received the Great Immigrant Award from the Carnegie Corporation of New York.[4]
