Born April 25, 1900, Wolfgang Pauli was born and raised in Vienna. After completing his early education in Vienna, he studied under Arnold Sommerfield at the University of Munich. He earned his doctorate in 1921 and was an assistant to Max Born, Nobel Prize Winner in 1954 for Physics, at the University of Göttingen. In 1922, Pauli served as the assistant to Niels Bohr, another prominent physicist at the time, in Copenhagen. After serving as a lecturer at the University of Hamburg, Pauli was appointed as Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. He soon progressed to the position of visiting professor at Princeton, University of Michigan, and Purdue University. After the end of World War II, Pauli returned to Zurich to continue his work at the university. | Born April 25, 1900, Wolfgang Pauli was born and raised in Vienna.

Early Life and Education
Born April 25, 1900, Wolfgang Pauli was born and raised in Vienna. After completing his early education in Vienna, he studied under Arnold Sommerfield at the University of Munich. He earned his doctorate in 1921 and was an assistant to Max Born, Nobel Prize Winner in 1954 for Physics, at the University of Göttingen. In 1922, Pauli served as the assistant to Niels Bohr, another prominent physicist at the time, in Copenhagen. After serving as a lecturer at the University of Hamburg, Pauli was appointed as Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. He soon progressed to the position of visiting professor at Princeton, University of Michigan, and Purdue University. After the end of World War II, Pauli returned to Zurich to continue his work at the university.
Research and discoveries
Described as one of the leaders of twentieth century physicists, even in his early twenties, Pauli's understanding of topics such as the theory of relativity, led him to early fame. The Pauli Exclusion Principle is his most recognized work, along other discoveries, such as being the first to recognize the existence of the neutrino.
Pauli Exclusion Principle
Recognition of the neutrino
