There have been some notorious scientists that have passed through this world. They have left their mark on vast inventions and have contributed to the greater cause. For Enrico Fermi, his contributions to science would be through the realm of physics.

Enrico Fermi was born in Rome, Italy in 1901. He became interested in physics and mathematical endeavors through the encouragement found from a family friend. The friend gave Enrico books that elaborated on mathematical and science concepts. It would become the driving force that he needed to pursue a lifelong career in the world of physics.

Enrico’s undergraduate and doctoral degree was earned from Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa located within Tuscany. Fermi would become highly acclaimed for his problem-solving skills and he would later be recognized for various work within the sciences because of his ability to solve problems.

When Enrico Fermi became a physicist, he couldn’t have known the great contributions that he would be able to offer the world and other scientists. The lists of achievements have been great. One such great endeavor allowed Fermi to develop the first nuclear reactor.

Enrico Fermi became known for his work developing the first nuclear reactor. He also became well known for his quantum theory, nuclear and particle physics, and statistical mechanics.

Fermi was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1938 in Physics. His work that enabled him to capture the coveted award was for his contributions in induced radioactivity. After he won the award, he made the decision to move to the states. He moved his family to New York.

Enrico Fermi worked at Columbia University after moving to the United States. He then worked at the University of Chicago. Enrico Fermi died in 1954. He was only fifty-three years old.
