Oppenheimer attended Harvard, Cambridge University, and Gottigen University.
He was named the scientific director of the Manhattan Project, the secret project to develop the atomic bomb. He calculated the critical mass of uranium-235, the amount needed to cause a chain reaction. Oppenheimer was also responsible for gathering the other leading scientists and overseeing the construction of the laboratory. For this he is often referred to as the "father" of the atomic bomb.
