View full profile →

Peter Debye (1884–1966) was a Dutch-American physicist and physical chemist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1936 for his work on dipole moments and X-ray scattering. He made foundational contributions to molecular structure theory, including the Debye model of specific heat and the Debye–Hückel theory of electrolytes. Known for his rigorous yet intuitive approach, he bridged classical and quantum physics with a focus on measurable phenomena.
