Alfred Kleiner (24 April 1849 – 3 July 1916) was a Swiss physicist and Professor of Experimental Physics at the University of Zurich. He was Albert Einstein's doctoral advisor or Doktorvater. Initially Einstein's advisor was Heinrich F. Weber. However, they had a major falling out, and Einstein chose to switch to Kleiner.
In 1905 Einstein obtained a doctorate from the University of Zurich with the work "Eine neue Bestimmung der Moleküldimensionen" under Professor Alfred Kleiner. Four years later, in February 1909, he held a lecture on electrodynamics and the relativity principle in the lecture hall of the Physics Institute of the University of Zurich, to which ...

Mar 1, 2006 · Einstein and Kleiner. Einstein's first attempt to obtain a Ph.D. under Weber at the ETH was abandoned soon after its inception, in the summer of 1901. Next, Einstein went for a doctorate under the supervision of Alfred Kleiner, professor of physics at the University in Zürich. He prepared a dissertation in November 1901.

I conjecture that Einstein avoided his own theoretical ideas to win the approval of his Ph.D. advisor, Alfred Kleiner. AB - In this essay I analyze Einstein's statistical papers from 1902 to 1904. In these papers, Einstein developed the foundations of a theoretical program that he applied to concrete problems in 1905 and in subsequent years.
