Maria Gertrude Goeppert-Mayer (June 28, 1906 – February 20, 1972) was a German-born American theoretical physicist who proposed the nuclear shell model of the atomic nucleus. She won the Nobel Prize in Physics, becoming the second woman ever to receive this award, following Marie Curie. A graduate of the University of Göttingen, her doctoral thesis addressed the theory of possible two-photon absorption by atoms. She faced significant challenges in academia due to nepotism rules but made important contributions during and after World War II, culminating in her appointment as a full professor at UC San Diego in 1960.
