In 1953, he attended the high school "TED Yenişehir Lisesi" in Ankara, and after graduating won a scholarship for education of chemistry in the USA. In 1956, he graduated from Berkeley in chemical engineering with the highest rank. In only eight months, he graduated from MIT in1957 with the highest degree. In two years, he finished his doctorate at the University of California at Berkeley. In 1960, Sinanoğlu started working as associate professor at Yale University. He theorized the "Many-Electron Theory of Atoms and Molecules" in1962 by solving a mathematical theorem that had been unsolved for 50 years. The same year, he earned the "Alfred Sloan" prize. As appointed professor in1963 at the age of only 28, he became the youngest person in the past century at Yale to attain the status as a full professor.
