  George Eugene Uhlenbeck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Eugene Uhlenbeck (December 6, 1900 October 31, 1988) was a U.S. Indonesian-born) physicist.
He introduced the concept of electron spin, which posits that electrons rotate on an axis, with Samuel Abraham Goudsmit, for which they were awarded the Max Planck medal in 1964.
Uhlenbeck was also awarded the Wolf Prize in Physics in 1979.

Now Uhlenbeck was doubly glad to be able to make the move, firstly because he had always wanted to study physics and mathematics at university, but also because he felt he did not have the dexterity to undertake a practical subject.
Uhlenbeck had a very significant influence on statistical mechanics and brought an area which was very varied and disjointed into some sort of structured whole.
Uhlenbeck's papers are all relatively short and stand out by their conciseness, precision, and clarity, finely honed to a deeper understanding of a basic problem in statistical physics.

Uhlenbeck was van 1949 tot 1983 hoogleraar Javaans aan deze universiteit, en van 1958 tot 1979 ook hoogleraar Algemene Taalwetenschap.Na zijn studie indologie in Leiden en Indisch recht in Utrecht werd Uhlenbeck in 1939 als taalambtenaar naar Nederlands-Indië uitgezonden als hoofd van de sectie Javaans bij het Bureau voor de Volkslectuur.

Uhlenbeck's doctoral work was of fundamental importance in quantum mechanics, systematising statistical notions and proposing electron spin.
As well as fundamental work on quantum mechanics, Uhlenbeck worked on atomic structure and the kinetic theory of matter.
Uhlenbeck was always very keen on clarity and a logical approach to all problems.

Photograph Collection: No Biography: George Eugene Uhlenbeck (1900-1988) was a theoretical physicist best known for his contributions to the study of atomic structure, quantum and statistical mechanics, the kinetic theory of matter, and nuclear physics.
Uhlenbeck graduated from the State University of Leiden, The Netherlands in 1920 and continued there with graduate study in the theory of atomic spectra under Paul Ehrenfest, earning his master's degree in 1922 and his Ph.D. in 1927.
Uhlenbeck's subsequent research focused on the statistical and kinetic theory of the equilibrium and non-equilibrium phenomena of physical systems.

Ehrenfest consegna a George Eugene Uhlenbeck, che si recava a Roma, una lettera per Fermi nella quale gli pone un certo numero di domande.
