Matthew Headrick Explained

Matthew Peter Headrick (born ca. 1973) is an American physicist who is an Associate Professor of Physics at Brandeis University.^{[4] [5] [3]} He received his PhD from Harvard University in 2002 under Shiraz Minwalla and his A.B from Princeton University in 1994.^[2] Headrick is known for his contributions to the quantum information perspective on holography.

Headrick is notable as the 1990 winner of the Intel (then Westinghouse) Science Talent Search while a high school student at the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, an event that generated intense media coverage.^{[6] [7]} He appeared on talk shows including Today.^[8] In response to the award, then-Illinois Gov. Thompson declared a "Matthew Headrick Day"^{[9] [10]} and the US House of Representatives also made a proclamation.
