Michio Kaku was born on January 24, 1947 in San Jose California is where him and his Japanese parents lived. Michio’s father was born in California but was educated in japan and barely any English. Both of his parents were put into the Tule Lake War Relocation center which were American concentration camps for people of Japanese ancestry. This is where his parents met and where his brother was born. Michio went to Cubberley High School in Palo Alto, while attending he built a particle accelerator in his parents garage for the National science fair in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was attempting to generate a beam of gamma rays powerful enough to create antimatter.
This attracted the attention of physicist Edward Teller, he took Kaku as a protégé, this awarded him with the Hertz Engineering Scholarship. He then graduated summa cum laude at Harvard University in 1968. Kaku was first in his graduating class of physics. He then attended Berkeley Radiation Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley and received a Ph.D. in 1972. Then in 1972 he held a lectureship at Princeton University. He also is a visiting professor at Princeton and New York University. He is listed in Who’s Who in America, Who’s Who in the World, Who’s Who in Science and Engineering, and American Men and Women of Science.

However, the Vietnam War ended before he was deployed as an infantryman.
Michio currently holds the Henry Semat Chair which is given to someone who has made a big contribution or to honor someone.
