Background

Adam Riess is an American astrophysicist and cosmologist at Johns Hopkins University and the Space Telescope Science Institute. He shared the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics with Saul Perlmutter and Brian P. Schmidt for their leadership in discovering that the expansion rate of the universe is accelerating.

Only five individuals have ever won multiple Nobel Prizes (Marie Curie, John Bardeen, Linus Pauling, Frederick Sanger, and K. Barry Sharpless). Riess continues to lead active research in observational cosmology, particularly focusing on resolving the "Hubble tension" by refining measurements of the universe's expansion rate.
