Markus Greiner is a German physicist. He is the winner of the thesis award of the American Physical Society 2004 and of the William L. McMillan Award 2005 for outstanding contributions in condensed matter physics. He was named a 2011 MacArthur Fellow[1]

He studied under the 2005 Nobel Laureate Theodor Hänsch at the Ludwig-Maximilians University and at the Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics, where he received his diploma in physics. The diploma thesis was entitled ”Transport of magnetically trapped atoms: a simple approach to Bose-Einstein condensation”. He earned his PhD for his work on "Bose-Einstein condensates in three-dimensional optical lattices" at the same institution. He then moved to the United States and from 2003 - 2005 he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Joint Institute for Astrophysics (JILA) in Boulder, Colorado. There, he worked on the creation of a fermionic condensate of ultracold atoms. Since 2005, he has been an Assistant Professor of Physics at Harvard University.
