Early Years and Education
Fick began his work in the study of mathematics and physics , before gaining a penchant for medicine. He then received a doctorate in medicine from the University of Marburg in 1851 . As a medical graduate, he began his career as a prospector .
Career
In 1855, he introduced Fick's law of diffusion . In 1870, he was the first to measure cardiac output using what is now called the Fick principle.
Fick managed to publish his law of diffusion twice, since it is applied equally in physiology and in physics. His work led to the development of Fick's direct method for measuring cardiac output.
