biography: published (January 1, 1993).

Nikola Tesla (M’1888, F’17) was born in Smiljan

in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, on July 9, 1856.
He graduated from the Austrian Polytechnic
School, Graz, and studied at the University of
Prague.
His employment experience included the
American Telephone Company, Budapest, the
Edison Machine Works, Westinghouse Electric
Company, and Nikola Tesla Laboratories. His
special fields of interest included high frequency.
Tesla received honorary degrees from institutions of higher learning
including Columbia University, Yale University, University of Belgrade, and
the University of Zagreb. He received the Elliott Cresson Medal of the
Franklin Institute and the Edison Medal of the IEEE. In 1956, the term "tesla"
(T) was adopted as the unit of magnetic flux density in the MKSA system. In
1975, the Power Engineering Society established the Nikola Tesla Award in
his honor. Tesla died on January 7, 1943.
