    Enrico Fermi (Rome, September 29, 1901-Chicago, November 28, 1954) was a naturalized Italian physicist known for the development of the first nuclear reactor and his contributions to the development of quantum theory, nuclear and particle physics, and statistical mechanics. In 1938 Fermi received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on induced radioactivity and is considered one of the most outstanding scientists of the 20th century. He has been defined as the "architect of the nuclear era" and the "architect of the atomic bomb".

    He is recognized as a physicist with great theoretical and experimental capabilities. The element fermium, which was synthetically produced in 1952, was named in his honor.

    Modern medicine using radioactive isotopes for diagnosis and treatment of diseases is indebted to his work.
