William Daniel Phillips (born November 5, 1948) is a Nobel Prize award winning, American physicist. He shared the Nobel Prize in Physics, in 1997, with Steven Chu and Claude Cohen-Tannoudji. ==Biography== Phillips was born to William Cornelius Phillips and Mary Catherine Savino. He is of Italian and Welsh descent.〔http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1997/phillips-autobio.html〕 His parents moved to Camp Hill (near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania) in 1959, where he attended high school and graduated valedictorian of his class. He graduated from Juniata College in 1970 summa cum laude. After that he received his physics doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. in 1978, he joined NIST. In 1996, he received the Albert A. Michelson Medal from The Franklin Institute.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Franklin Laureate Database – Albert A. Michelson Medal Laureates )〕 Phillips' doctoral thesis concerned the magnetic moment of the proton in H2O. He later did some work with Bose–Einstein condensates. In 1997 he won the Nobel Prize in Physics together with Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and Steven Chu for his contributions to laser cooling, a technique to slow the movement of gaseous atoms in order to better study them, at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and especially for his invention of the Zeeman slower. Phillips is also a professor of physics at University of Maryland, College Park. He was one of the 35 Nobel laureates who signed a letter urging President Obama to provide a stable $15 billion per year support for clean energy research, technology and demonstration.〔(Open Letter to President Obama ).

The other two scientists and fellow Methodists are chemist Charles Coulson and 1981 Nobel laureate Arthur Leonard Schawlow. In Oct 2010 Phillips participated in the USA Science and Engineering Festival's Lunch with a laureate program where middle and high school students got to engage in an informal conversation with a Nobel Prize–winning scientist over a brown-bag lunch.〔. usasciencefestival.org (2010)〕 Phillips is also a member of the USA Science and Engineering Festival's Advisory Board.〔(Advisors ).
