## Bio

Martin Lewis Perl was born June 24, 1927, and trained first as a chemical engineer before crossing into physics. His experimental work led to the discovery of the tau lepton, a finding that expanded the known structure of subatomic particles and earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1995. He died September 30, 2014, decades after the detection that secured his place in particle physics.
