Fowler, who shared the 1983 Nobel Prize in physics for his research into the creation of chemical elements inside stars, was born in 1911 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and raised in Lima, Ohio. He received his bachelor's degree in 1933 from Ohio State University and earned his doctorate in 1936 at the California Institute of Technology under the supervision of Charles Lauritsen, whom he considered the greatest influence in his life. Upon finishing his PhD, Fowler promptly joined the Caltech faculty as a research fellow, and was appointed an assistant professor in 1939. During World War II, he carried out research and development on rocket ordnance and proximity fuses - fuses that would detonate only when close to aircraft or airborne bombs. He was appointed associate professor in 1942, professor in 1946, and Institute Professor of Physics in 1970, a chair he held until his retirement in 1982, at which point he entered Emeritus status.

He coauthored, with Margaret Burbidge Geoffrey Burbidge , and Fred Hoyle , the famous 1957 paper, "Synthesis of the Elements in Stars," known as B FH . They showed how the cosmic abundances of essentially all but the lightest nuclides could be explained as the result of nuclear reactions in stars. After 1964 Fowler worked on theoretical problems involving supernovae, gravitational collapse, neutrinos, formation of light elements, and nucleocosmochronology.

Branch of Science Physicists Nationality American ... Physics Prize Fowler, William Alfred (1911-1995) American physicist who, in the 1950s, did fundamental work on explaining how the various elements are synthesized inside stars and theoretically predicting what their present abundance should be, culminating in the famous " " Fowler, Burbridge, and Burbridge paper (1957). With his students in the 1960s, he also calculated the relative amounts of deuterium and lithium which should have been produced in the big bang His results agreed very closely with what astronomers observed. In 1983, he shared the Nobel prize in physics for his work (the other awardee was Chandrasekhar ). Fowler has been described as "a grizzled and stocky extrovert from southern Ohio who liked to pretend that he was just a hard-drinking country boy when in reality he was a powerful and shrewd physicist" (Overbye 1991, p. 41).

Nobel Laureate William A. Fowler Dies at 83 PASADENAWilliam A. Fowler, who shared the 1983 Nobel Prize in physics for his research into the creation of chemical elements inside stars, died Tuesday morning, March 14, in Pasadena, California. He was 83. Willy Fowler, as he was known world-wide, was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and raised from the age of two in Lima, Ohio. He received his bachelor's degree in 1933 from Ohio State University and earned his doctorate in 1936 under the supervision of Charles Lauritsen from the California Institute of Technology. He considered Lauritsen the greatest influence in his life. Upon finishing his PhD, Fowler promptly joined the Caltech faculty as a research fellow, and was appointed an assistant professor in 1939. During World War II, he carried out research and development on rocket ordnance and proximity fusesfuses that would detonate only when close to aircraft or airborne bombs. He was appointed associate professor in 1942, professor in 1946, and Institute Professor of Physics in 1970, a chair he held until his retirement in 1982. At the time of his death, Fowler was Caltech's Institute Professor of Physics, Emeritus. During his career in nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics, which spanned more that 60 years, Fowler was primarily concerned with studies of fusion reactionshow the nuclei of lighter chemical elements fuse to create the heavier ones in a process known as nucleosynthesis. In 1957, Fowler coauthored with Fred Hoyle and Geoffrey and Margaret Burbidge the seminal paper "Synthesis of the Elements in the Stars." In it, they showed that all of the elements from carbon to uranium could be produced by nuclear processes in stars, starting only with the hydrogen and helium produced in the Big Bang.
