  • Albert W. Overhauser is an American physicist and member of the National Academy of Sciences. He is best known for his theory of dynamic nuclear polarization, also known as the Overhauser Effect. Overhauser attended high school in San Francisco at Lick-Wilmerding High School and began his undergraduate work at the University of California, Berkeley in 1942. He interrupted his studies during World War II for a two year stint in the U.S. Navy Reserve, then returned to Berkeley to complete his education. In 1948 he received undergraduate degrees in physics and mathematics, and in 1951 he received a Ph.D. in physics. From 1951-1953 he was a post-doctoral student at the University of Illinois, where he developed an important theory on the transfer of spin polarization; once the theory had been confirmed and demonstrated by other scientists, it became known as the Overhauser Effect. He was on the faculty at Cornell University from 1953-1958, and then left to join the research staff at Ford Motor Company. Overhauser remained at Ford until 1973, when he joined the faculty at Purdue University. He is still at Purdue as the Stuart Distinguished Professor of Physics.

Dort entwickelte er eine wichtige Theorie vom Transfer der Spinpolarisation. Als die Theorie durch andere Wissenschaftler bestätigt und demonstriert werden konnte, wurde die Theorie als Kern-Overhauser-Effekt bekannt. Von 1953 bis 1958 war er an der Fakultät der Cornell University und ging dann zu einem Forschungsteam der Ford Motor Company.
