Enrico Fermi : a complete physicist

Enrico Fermi was born in Rome in 1901 and was the youngest of three Fermi children. His mother, Ida, was a school teacher and his father, Alberto was a railroad administrative employee. Enrico was a child prodigy, specifically in Physics and Mathematics. His ability to derive from first principles was an essential ingredient of Fermi's talent. He thought deeply about what he read and was always inspired to add something new to it. In matters of theoretical physics, he was infallible, so his colleagues called him the "Pope of Physics." His style as a theoretical physicist was always pragmatic and as simple as possible. An essential element of Fermi's genius was his intellectual restlessness. Always the adventurer, Fermi sought new fields, and he never failed to find them. On the promising new fields of research, Fermi would do the pioneering work and would leave the rest for others to explore it further.
He demonstrated the usefulness of neutron beams for the study of the solid state. He will always be remembered for Fermi Coordinates, Fermi Level, Fermi Golden rule etc. He was awarded Nobel Prize in 1938 for his demonstrations of the existence of new radioactive elements produced by neutron irradiation, and for his related discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons.
