Born in Ulm, Germany, in 1879, Albert Einstein left school at the age of 16 without graduating. A rebel and dubbed 'irreverent' by his teachers, he struggled to submit to the strict school system.
He moved to Switzerland for his studies and became a highly sought-after professor. The development of his theory of relativity, with the well-known formula E=m?, eventually brought him worldwide fame and recognition.
In 1933, the Jewish-born physicist emigrated to the United States, where he received U.S. citizenship in addition to his Swiss citizenship.
