Stuart Freedman
Stuart Jay Freedman (January 13, 1944 – November 10, 2012) was a physicist, known for his graduate work on a Bell test experiment with John Clauser as well as his contributions to nuclear and particle physics, particularly weak interaction physics. He was a graduate student at UC Berkeley under Eugene Commins, where he worked with fellow graduate student Steven Chu. He was also recipient of 2007 Tom W. Bonner Prize in Nuclear Physics.
