Encouraged by his father, who was an electical engineer, Einstein studied at the Zurich Polytechnic Institue until the age of 21, shortly afterwards starting work at the Swiss Patent Office. Although famous for his papers on special and general relativity, he won the 1921 Nobel Prize for physics for his work on the photoelectric effect.
