Robert Serber (1909-1997) was a physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project and explained its goals to new recruits. He also developed the hydrodynamics theory, code-named the bombs, and visited Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the war.
Robert Serber was born on March 14, 1909, in Philadelphia. He earned a doctorate in physics at the University of Wisconsin in 1934, then moved to the University of California, Berkeley, to work with J. Robert Oppenheimer.
Robert serber (elected to the nas in 1952) was one of the leading theorists during the golden age of U.s. physics. He entered graduate school in 19 0 before such key discoveries as the neutron, positron, and deuteron and prior to the development of the principal tool of nuclear and high-energy physics, the particle accelerator.
Robert Serber was born on March 14, 1909, in Philadelphia, into a relatively comfortable Jewish family. On the advice of his uncle who was chief engineer at the Atlantic Refining Company, he enrolled in 1926 at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and majored in engineering physics.
