Special:Badtitle/NS90:Milestones-Nomination talk:Invention of Holography by Dennis Gabor/On Gabor's Biography
From ETHW
I have found some information where it is said that Gabor was appointed Reader in Electron Physics at Imperial College in 1948. So, it would be good to find out whether Gabor moved to Imperial College that year or did it one year later, as said in the nomination.
About Gabor’s education, the nomination shows some doubts about it. Let me refer the information I have found: He attended Technical University of Budapest for a four year course in Mechanical Engineering (1918), then attended a course in Electrical Engineering at Technische Hochschule Berlin (1921) where was also awarded Doctorate (1927). In 1934 he went to England and was employed by the British Thomson Houston (BTH) Company in Rugby.
