He studied chemical engineering. In the process of studying, he met a young Italian chemist Ascanio Sobrero named, he has invented a volatile explosive called nitroglycerine. Sobrero introduced this matter with the Nobel, and he understood clearly explain if this substance will produce an interesting research topic, but also will be a big threat if you use it in practice.
