Nicholas Kurti , CBE FRS (Hungarian : Kürti Miklós ) (14 May 1908 – 24 November 1998) was a Hungarian -born British physicist who lived in Oxford , UK , for most of his life.[1] [2]
Born in Budapest , Kurti went to high school at the Minta Gymnasium , but due to anti-Jewish laws he had to leave the country, gaining his master's degree at the Sorbonne in Paris . He obtained his doctorate in low-temperature physics in Berlin , working with Professor Franz Simon .[2] Kurti and Simon continued to work together during 1931–1933 at the Technische Hochschule in Breslau . However, when Adolf Hitler rose to power, both Simon and Kurti left Germany, joining the Clarendon Laboratory in the University of Oxford , England.
During World War II , Kurti worked on the Manhattan project , returning to Oxford in 1945. In 1955 he won the Fernand Holweck Medal and Prize . In 1956, Simon and Kurti built a laboratory experiment that reached a temperature of one microkelvin . This work attracted worldwide attention, and Kurti was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society .[3] He later became the society's Vice-President from 1965 to 1967.
Kurti became a Fellow of Brasenose College, Oxford , in 1947 and became Professor of Physics at Oxford in 1967, a post he held until his retirement in 1975.[2] He was also Visiting Professor at City College in New York City , the University of California, Berkeley , and Amherst College in Massachusetts .
Nicholas Kurti was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1956, becoming vice-president in 1965, and was appointed as a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) in 1973.[2]
Personal life [ edit ]
Kurti's hobby was cooking, and he was an enthusiastic advocate of applying scientific knowledge to culinary problems, a field known today as gastrophysics . In 1969 he gave a talk at the Royal Institution titled "The physicist in the kitchen", in which he amazed the audience by using the recently invented microwave oven to make a "reverse Baked Alaska " — a Frozen Florida — hot liquor enclosed by a shell of frozen meringue. Over the years he organized several international workshops in Erice , Italy on "Molecular and Physical Gastronomy ."
