	Debye was born on March 24, 1884 in in Maastricht, Netherlands, and attended Aachen University of Technology where he received a degree in electrical engineering in 1905. In 1906, his mentor Arnold Sommerfeld was appointed to the faculty at Munich and Debye went with him and earned a Ph.D. in 1908 with a dissertation on radiation pressure.

In 1906, his mentor Arnold Sommerfeld was appointed to the faculty at Munich and Debye went with him and earned a Ph.D. in 1908 with a dissertation on radiation pressure.

			In 1936, Debye won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for his contributions to our knowledge of molecular structure through his investigations on dipole moments and on the diffraction of X-rays and electrons in gases."<ref>http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1936/index.html</ref>

	In 1939, Debye travelled to the United States to deliver the Baker Lectures at Cornell University. He then emigrated from Germany in early 1940 to become a chemistry professor at Cornell and chaired the department for 10 years. In 1946, Debye became a U.S. citizen. Debye retired from Cornell in 1952, but continued his research there until his death on November 2, 1966.
