Amy is a neuroscientist in The Big Bang Theory.
Amy Farrah Fowler is a main character from the popular CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory. She was introduced during the Season 3 finale when she shows up as Sheldon Cooper’s date through a dating site. What was supposed to be a supporting character turned into one of the main characters, as the makers sensed the potential chemistry between Sheldon and Amy.
Born on December 17, 1979, Fowler was born to Larry and Mrs Fowler. Speaking about her childhood, things weren’t great for Amy while growing up. Amy’s father Larry was pretty quiet and in an unhappy marriage with her mother, with whom Amy shared a strained relationship. She grew up with no friends and was mostly cold, rational, and awkward. However, that changed after she met Penny and Bernadette in the show.
Which college did Amy go to in The Big Bang Theory?
Amy Farrah Fowler did her doctorate in neurobiology from Harvard University in The Big Bang Theory, which was in turn inspired by Mayim Bialik’s actual PhD degree. The character hails from Glendale, California, and is known for her atypical experiments such as getting a capuchin monkey addicted to cigarettes or getting a starfish addicted to cocaine. Amy’s research topic was addiction in primates and invertebrates in the show. The character later went on to win a Nobel prize in Physics with her husband Sheldon Cooper.
Who is Amy's husband in The Big Bang Theory?
Amy Fowler marries Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory. As mentioned above, Amy's character was introduced on the show as Sheldon Cooper's date through a dating site. It was Raj Koothrappali who created Sheldon's profile and encouraged him to meet his date. Reluctantly, Sheldon agreed to meet Amy. Penny tagged along with him to meet his date in the Cafe. Skeptical at first, Amy warns Sheldon that there would be no physical contact between the two and Cooper too laid out his boundaries.
Surprisingly Amy and Sheldon hit it off and the two decided to begin dating. Over the seasons the two withdrew their walls and warmed up to each other. However, during season 9 Sheldon and Amy went through a small hiccup (a breakup) but reconciled in no time. After two more seasons, the lovebirds got married to each other and also won a Nobel prize in Physics together.
