    Albert Einstein was born in Germany in 1879. He showed early aptitude in math and physics. After university, he struggled to find work until getting a job in a Swiss patent office in 1902. In 1905, known as his "miracle year", he published papers introducing special relativity and mass–energy equivalence. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his services to theoretical physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect. Einstein later immigrated to the United States due to the rise of the Nazis. He warned President Roosevelt about the potential for developing an atomic bomb in Nazi Germany and helped initiate the Manhattan Project. Einstein died in 1955 in Princeton, New Jersey at the age of 76.

    School in Zurich, Switzerland. He failed in the entrance
    exam due to lacking of high school diploma because he
    left the school. But he was taken because he scored good
    marks in math and physics.
    After University
    In 1895 Albert Einstein was sent to the Swiss town of
    Aarau to finish high school.
    In 1896 Albert Einstien graduates from high school at
    the age of 17 and enrolls at the ETH (the Federal
    Polytechnic) in Zurich. He renounces his German
    citizenship
    • Einstein graduates in 1900 from ETH with a degree
    in physics.
    • During 1900-1902 this was the worst part of
    Einstein’s life, he wasn’t employed and his father’s
    business was also bankrupt. He lived on tutoring
    children but couldn’t hold them for long.

    • They had two sons Hans Albert, becomes an
    engineer and professor and Eduard Einstein
    had schizophrenia.
    Miracle year-1905

    While working in the patent office, he discovered


    that the speed of light remains constant and
    formulated the principle of relativity.
    • In this year he also discovered that a small particle
    of an atom can produce a lot of energy which is
    known nuclear reaction.
    • After this theory, Albert Einstein became very
    popular and famous, he was invited to give a
    speech in the international meeting and then he
    rose rapidly in the academic world.
    • He was offered a series of positions in many
    universities and he served as a director of Kaiser
    Wilhelm Institute of Physics from 1913-1933.
    Nobel prize
    Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in
    Physics quantum theory of light,
    “Generation and Conversion of Light with
    Regard to a Heuristic Point of View,” for
    which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for
    Physics in 1921 was published. The paper
    dealt with the photoelectric effect and
    postulated that light sometimes acts like a
    stream of particles with discrete energies,
    or quanta.
    Achievements & Awards
    1920 Barnard Medal for Meritorious service to science.
    1921 Nobel Prize in Physics
    1921 Matteucci Medal
    1923 Genootschaps Medal
    1925 Copley Medal
