2. Pierre Curie

Marie took her surname from Pierre Curie. Marie met Pierre in Paris in 1984 while Pierre was working as a scientist in the city. The two met thanks to one of Maries professors who arranged for a research grant, initiating a project that the two would work on together. After only a year of meeting, the two got married and Marie adopted the name that is now famous across the world.

Unfortunately, Pierre was killed in 1906 after an accident with a horse-drawn wagon in the street. Pierre held the position of professor of general physics at the Sorbonne University at the time and Marie took over the position after Pierres death.
