Percy Williams Bridgman: Pioneer of High-Pressure Physics

Percy Williams Bridgman was born on April 21, 1882, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He earned his Ph.D. in physics from Harvard University and later became a professor at Higgins University. Bridgman's groundbreaking research explored the effects of high pressures on materials, significantly influencing thermodynamics and modern physics. He received numerous accolades, including the Rumford Medal and honorary degrees. Bridgman was also an active member of several scientific societies. He married Olive Ware in 1912 and was the father of two children. He passed away on August 20, 1961.
