    Three generation of Bohrs, the Physicists,
    Niels Bohr (left) – along with his son Aage Bohr (center) – and his grandson Tomas Bohr (bottom) – currently Professor of Physics at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).
    Historical Context: The Bohr Legacy in Physics
    Niels Bohr (1885–1962) – One of the greatest physicists of the 20th century, Niels Bohr was instrumental in the development of quantum mechanics and atomic structure. His famous Bohr model of the atom introduced quantum jumps, laying the foundation for modern quantum theory. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922.
    Aage Bohr (1922–2009) – Following in his father’s footsteps, Aage became a distinguished physicist, making significant contributions to nuclear structure theory. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1975 for his work on the collective motion of atomic nuclei. A Nobel prize winner.
    Tomas Bohr, son of Aage Bohr and grandson of Niels Bohr, is a distinguished physicist specializing in fluid dynamics and nonlinear systems. He serves as a professor in the Biophysics and Fluids section at the Department of Physics, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and directs the Center for Fluid Dynamics.
    Bohr is a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters and was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society's Division of Fluid Dynamics in 2009, acknowledging his contributions to the field.
    Through his extensive research and publications, Tomas Bohr has significantly advanced the understanding of complex fluid dynamics and nonlinear systems, continuing the scientific legacy of the Bohr family.
