Robert Oppenheimer, PhD, an American theoretical physicist, was selected during World War II to lead the Manhattan Project for the United States, the effort which created the atomic bombs used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki for the purpose of forcing Japan to surrender and end the conflict.

He lobbied for international control of nuclear power, to avert nuclear proliferation and a nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union.
