Biography
Johannes Hans Daniel Jensen (German: [ˈhans ˈjɛnzn̩] ; 25 June 1907 – 11 February 1973) was a German theoretical physicist. During World War II, Jensen worked on the German nuclear energy project, known as the Uranium Club, where he contributed to the separation of uranium isotopes. After the war, Jensen was a professor at the University of Heidelberg. He was a visiting professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, the Institute for Advanced Study, University of California, Berkeley, Indiana University, and the California Institute of Technology.
Jensen was awarded the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physics along with Eugene Wigner and Maria Goeppert Mayer, sharing one half of the Prize with the latter "for their discoveries concerning nuclear shell structure."
