He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1979 for his fundamental contributions to multiphase flows, bubble dynamics, and safety of nuclear reactors.[2][3] Plesset served as Professor of Engineering Science at California Institute of Technology during 1951 to 1978. Notable scientists Andrea Prosperetti and Norman Zabusky finished their doctoral work under Plesset's guidance. He with Christian Møller are known for the Møller–Plesset perturbation theory.[4] The Rayleigh-Plesset equation describing the dynamics of a bubble in an infinite body of fluid is also named after him. Education and workBorn in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Plesset received his bachelor's degree from University of Pittsburgh in 1929 and a Ph.D. from Yale University in 1932. Soon after his Ph.D. Plesset joined Caltech and worked with Robert Oppenheimer. Together, they undertook a theoretical study of positrons using the Dirac equation in quantum electrodynamics to show how electron-positron pairs were formed.[2] References1. ^Fluids Engineering Award by American Society of Mechanical Engineers 2. ^1 {{cite book |last= |first=|title=Memorial Tributes By National Academy of Engineering|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WD4rAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA173&dq=Milton+S.+Plesset#PPA173,M1|year=|publisher=National Academy of Engineering |isbn= |date= 2008-12-31}} 3. ^Dr. Milton S.
