He was brought to the U.S. as a child the following year. He earned his bachelor's degree in chemistry from Cornell University in 1919 and his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1927. His doctorate was earned for work on the magnetic properties of crystals.
Aided by fellowships, Rabi spent two years in Europe, working at different times with Sommerfield, Bohr, Pauli, Stern and Heisenberg.
On his return to the U.S. in 1929, he was appointed lecturer of Theoretical Physics at Columbia University, and after promotion through the various grades became professor in 1937.
In 1930, Rabi conducted investigations into the nature of the force binding protons to atomic nuclei.
This research eventually led to the creation of the molecular-beam magnetic-resonance detection method, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1944.
In 1940, Rabi was granted leave from Columbia
