Gustave Eiffel, who
passed away on 27 December 1923, was a French civil engineer. A graduate of
École Centrale Paris, he made his name building various bridges for the French
railway network, most famously the Garabit viaduct. He is best known for the
world-famous Eiffel Tower, built for the 1889 Universal Exposition in
Paris, and his contribution to building the Statue of Liberty in
New York. After his retirement from engineering, Eiffel focused on research
into meteorology and aerodynamics, making significant contributions in both fields.
