Robert Millikan

March 22 1868- December 19, 1953
Millikan was educated at Columbia University and Oberlin College and received both his mastership in physics and his Ph.D. 

Using an oil-drop experiment, he calculated the charge of an electron, which allowed for the calculation of the mass of the electron.

He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1923.
